With its nostalgic pixel-art graphics and retro music, you’re going to want to keep exploring to discover just what new joke and pop culture shout-out Zueirama’s going to show next.

Platforms Galore

Zueirama brings back the good ol’ side-scroller fun as you make your way around its world left, right, up, and down. You can dash to and fro and even while in mid-air, and the platforming gets tricky with the numerous food-based enemies blocking your path. With just a simple jump on top of them, reminiscent of the old Mario games, you can vanquish them and collect some coins to use later. There are tons of items to collect along the way and even more meme references you can spot in the background and foreground, so alongside the easy art style, it’s never too much or too boring to watch the screen.

You’ll Probably Get Hungry

As soon as the game starts, you’ll be introduced to your enemies, which happen to be popular and beloved food in Brazil that have suddenly become sentient and aggressive towards humans. From the iconic Mortadella Sandwich (Pão com Mortadela) to the favorite deep-fried Coxinhas, you’ll have to jump and stomp your way around to defeat them and chase after the fiends who stole your motorbike. You’ll even come across background shops selling food that really highlight Brazil’s best cuisine.

Tons of References

Zueirama relies on your knowledge of the best internet memes that have made the world laugh and with a quirky country such as Brazil, there are tons more that the average Brazilian will love in this game. From background shout-outs you can spot as you move around the world to old game references whose gameplay mechanics will be used for a short mini-game, there will always be something about Zueirama that will make you stop and shake your head in amusement.

A Good Dose of Memes

Zueirama aims to bring back and reminisce about classic games while peppering your adventure with funny Brazilian memes. The gameplay is easy and can be picked up by anyone despite their experience with side-scroller games. The graphics are clean and adorable, contrasting hilariously with the character sprites of all games. Zueirama will no doubt intrigue you, at the very least.
