Relive the 90s Arcade Experience at Home!

Akeni is a standalone, portable executable (no installation needed!) that transforms your PC into a late-80s/early-90s coin-op machine.

I spent 3 years solo-developing this game—drawing every pixel, coding every line, and composing every music track myself—to capture the authentic feel of the games I grew up with.

🕹️ Authentic Arcade Features

• Native Resolution: True 320x224 pixel art (Standard Arcade Resolution).
• Retro Vibe: "Insert Coin" prompts, flashing Game Over screens, and yes... even the classic "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen!
• Synth Audio: An original soundtrack utilizing FM-synth style chip audio.
• High Score Leaderboard: Challenge yourself to beat your personal best.
• Multilingual: Play in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

🌴 The Adventure

You are Akeni, a young warrior of an Amazonian tribe. To earn the Chief's blessing to marry his daughter, Akeena, you must prove your bravery. Your challenge: Traverse 7 treacherous worlds to retrieve the Three Legendary Treasures (The Golden Statue, The Great Diamond, and the Ruby Ring).

Akeni is a non-violent Action Platformer. There are no guns and no killing—just pure agility.

• Run, Jump, & Climb: Scale cavern walls, swing on vines Tarzan-style, and crawl through tight passages.
• Survive the Wild: The enemies are nature itself! Dodge snakes, albino scorpions, electric eels, and piranhas.
• Heal with Nature: Hurt by a sting? Forage for pineapples, bananas, and grapes to restore your health.

🌎 7 Worlds to Explore

This isn't just a straight line. You must navigate complex labyrinths and find hidden items to progress.

1. High Cliff: Search for ancient symbols to open rocky passages.
2. Great Valley: A mountainous forest filled with treasure.
3. Condor Mountain: Dodge falling boulders and befriend the wildlife.
4. High Seas: A massive underwater level! Swim into the deep darkness (don't worry, Akeni has amazing lungs) and seek shelter near the giant Blue Whale.
5. Sandy Beach: Avoid the swooping birds and spiky sea urchins.
6. Paradise Jungle: A lush tropical maze guarded by a fierce Leopard. You'll need to use your wits—not weapons—to get past him!
7. Lost Caverns: The final test. Deep chasms and the ultimate treasure await.

Technical Note: This game is a standalone .exe file. Just download, unzip, and play!
