About This Game

Level Up is a dynamic 2D side-scrolling adventure that merges the fun of an 90s side scroller video game with the vibes of a hip-hop album. Created by a multifaceted first time developer — a two-time Ninja Warrior, Nerdcore Rapper, and an Operational Excellence leader — this game is a unique way to experience the hip hop album Level Up featuring the talented artists Substantial, Mega Ran, Kadesh Flow, Mc Ohm-I, and Oso Cinco, with masterful audio engineering by K-Murdock. Brought to life by a successful Kickstarter campaign Level Up promises to bring a new frontier to music experience.






In Level Up, you will traverse through classic 16-bit landscapes where each level unfolds in sync with the tracks from a lyrically masterful album. It's not just about reaching the end, it's about flowing with the beat, becoming one with the music and experiencing music in a new way.






Unlock songs and get access to game only versions of the album as you progress. Each level introduces a new track, with lyrics that narratively tie into the game’s journey, enhancing the experience and connection between the gameplay and the music.






Whether you're in it for the story, the beats, or the challenge, the game meets you where you want by offering:

• Story Mode: Play through the album side by side with lyrical mastery.
  
• Freestyle Mode: Play and vibe out to the instrumentals only.
  
• Challenge Mode: Increase the difficulty with stronger enemies and tougher boss battles.

Play through a visually engaging 2D world designed to reflect the ethos of underground hip-hop culture and witness the story unfold through lyrical content.
