Battle of NukeBoards

Famous NukeBoards forums are under attack! Prepare for battle... it's time for Battle of NukeBoards!

Welcome to Battle of NukeBoards, a fast-paced retro action platformer created as a tribute to NukeBoards, a Polish forum community built around one very specific passion: making games with Clickteam's legendary Klik tools.

And yes, the game was actually made in The Games Factory.

Not Unity. Not Godot. Not Unreal.

The Games Factory.

NukeBoards is in danger, and only one person can save it:

User #5693.

His deliberately generic name is meant to suggest exactly what he is: just another random user who happened to be in the right place at the wrong time.

Unfortunately for NukeBoards, he's all they've got. 

Fight your way through 18 main levels and 4 bonus stages, packed with enemies, traps, secrets and enough bullets to make diplomacy completely unnecessary.

You'll have 6 different weapons at your disposal, each with its own purpose, while boss battles will put your reflexes and firepower to the test.

Explore different paths, find hidden areas, uncover secrets and see what you've missed.

Battle of NukeBoards is more than a retro shooter-platformer. It's a piece of Polish Klik history turned into a game.

The characters you'll meet are based on real people from the Polish Klik scene, and many of the events, situations and jokes throughout the game are references to actual events and stories from the community.

If you were part of that scene, you may recognize some familiar faces. You may recognize some events.  You may even recognize things that were probably better left buried.

AI Disclosure:

Although Itch.io requires developers to indicate whether generative AI was used, its use in Battle of NukeBoards was limited to only one bonus level. This was done for artistic and narrative reasons, as the characters themselves even acknowledge the use of AI within the game.

All other graphics were hand-designed by Aleksander "Cage" Kowalczyk (known for his work on Ion Fury and Supplice) and Piotr "PoW" Pochanke
