"Ultra: New Hardcore Retro Platformer Hits Android"

Step back into the world of old-school, rage-inducing platformers with Collect or Die – Ultra. Developed by Super Smith Bros, this game revives the essence of the original 2017 title and enhances it with new features, promising even more fast-paced action, deadly traps, and stickman carnage.

More Levels, More Hazards, and an Even More Punishing Experience

The premise of Collect or Die – Ultra is straightforward: navigate through test chambers to collect all the coins while surviving a gauntlet of hazards. These chambers are packed with saw blades, lasers, thwomps, and sentries, all designed to shred your stickman into pieces. The game's brutal difficulty is offset by the entertaining spectacle of your stickman's demise, thanks to the game's ragdoll physics and dismemberment effects. Each failed attempt becomes a gory, over-the-top show that might just make you chuckle amidst the frustration.

Take a look at the game in action below and witness the chaos for yourself!

Collect or Die Is Truly Ultra This Time

With 90 levels spread across 9 stages, Collect or Die – Ultra ramps up the challenge with each level, forcing players to dodge increasingly lethal obstacles. Success requires quick reflexes, precise jumps, and an abundance of patience. The game also features leaderboards and achievements, adding a competitive edge to the experience. Moreover, the game's distinct 80s VHS aesthetic enhances its retro vibe, making it a must-try for fans of classic platformers. You can dive into the action by downloading Collect or Die – Ultra from the Google Play Store.
