About Nuclear Cheetah
Explosively fast platforming action!
Bounce, pounce, and slide your way through fast-paced levels as Chaz, the radioactive cheetah! This retro platformer inspired by the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog and Jazz Jackrabbit features a high skill ceiling, crispy pixel art, and a bangin’ MIDI-styled soundtrack.
Chaz receives an invitation to the Lynx Kingdom’s royal banquet, but when he arrives, he discovers that the evil Edward Eagle has taken Luna the Lynx Princess hostage, and wants the entire kingdom as ransom. Our unlikely hero stumbled into the Lynx castle at just the wrong time, and with the king too scared to act, it looks like Chaz is gonna have to defuse Edward’s scheme himself.
Nuclear Cheetah combines time attack platforming with a collect-a-thon progression system. Play through and master challenging stages, earn power orbs to unlock new areas of the castle, and save the princess; all while uncovering the story of how a once mild-mannered cheetah transformed into a green gangsta who eats toxic waste for breakfast.
Have a blast zooming through levels, chill out in the castle, and save the princess, along with the entire Lynx Kingdom. But whatever you do… don’t blow up!

There's a recent neither Sonic nor Pizza Tower have levels that consist of 90% instant $%&*'ing death pits, if you're gonna design a fast paced physics platformer then don't make it so i have to precision platform tiptoe around every level3 found this helpful
Nuclear Cheetah is a retro-inspired action platformer developed and published by SpontGames. The game takes clear inspiration from the fast-paced platformers of the 1990s, embracing a design philosophy built around speed, momentum, and precise movement mechanics. Instead of focusing on cinematic storytelling or complex systems, the game prioritizes tight gameplay and replayable level design. Players take control of Chaz, a radioactive cheetah whose unusual abilities allow him to sprint through environments, bounce off enemies, and unleash bursts of speed as he navigates dangerous terrain in pursuit of a villain who has disrupted the peace of a nearby kingdom. The narrative provides a playful setup for the action. Chaz arrives at the Lynx Kingdom after receiving an invitation to a royal banquet, expecting a quiet and celebratory evening. However, the festivities are interrupted by the arrival of a villain known as Edward Eagle, who kidnaps Princess Luna and throws the kingdom into chaos. With the royal guards unable to stop the threat, Chaz finds himself reluctantly stepping into the role of hero. The story unfolds gradually as players progress through the castle and surrounding re…1 found this helpful
I want to play through this whole game, because I love the art style, animations, characters, etc., but unfortunately I seem to have a skill issue, as I keep getting C and D ranks and can't progress past the first three levels. Seriously though, I like how you've put a lot of thought into the protagonist's life and career. He's like a "loser protagonist," for lack of a better term, which is rare for Sonic-type characters. He starts out in a blue-collar job before getting fired and living in a junkyard. It's a really interesting concept and it feels relatable.1 found this helpful
It's... fine for what it's trying to do, but i wouldn't really want to see any one of my friends struggle to get an s rank in any of the levels. The vines are a ♥♥♥♥ gimmick imo
It strikes a good balance between being simple, accessible and challenging to master. The base game itself is a bit short but it has a lot of replay value and doesn't overstay its welcome. You can get a lot more mileage out of the game by trying for S-ranks on each stage, but it's not a requirement to beat the game and even casual levels of play is satisfying on its own. Definitely give it a go if you want something like the first Sonic game but with better handling, momentum and intentional level design built for speedrunning. My only regret is that I got it during the Steam sale, it's already a dirt cheap game and it feels bad to cut even more off from the price.
I just plaid nuclear th cheetah FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!1!1!1!!!!11!
