Swifty Beams is an infinite runner for the original Game Boy about not getting killed by lasers. Inspired by retro classics like Mega Man, Swifty Beams will have you running, jumping, sliding, and dodging down a randomly generated tower.

Collect 8 different powerups and travel through 4 different areas to get to the goal.

What awaits you at the bottom? You'll have to find out for yourself!
