Kickstarter has been a real boon for retro gaming recently, hasn't it? First General Chaos, then River City Ransom: Underground, and now a retro-inspired platformer that was kickstarted almost a year ago releases. It's a regular wellspring of nostalgia.

This is Spud's Quest, a neat little six-hour (that's playtime, not development time) puzzle-adventure with a Metroid-inspired upgrade system, temples based on Zelda's, and gameplay inspired by classic European platformer series Dizzy. It is set to hit PC this summer, and can be pre-ordered via its official website.
