A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Super Freaks Arcade is a throwback to single screen arcade games, loosely based on a combination of Mario Bros., and Pac-Man Championship Edition. It aims to reinterpret the gameplay of Super Freaks 1 Ultimate Edition as if it were a 1983 arcade game. While it was originally made in two weeks for the Freakjam 1 pack, Super Freaks Arcade is receiving content updates and overhauls over time that will continue to expand it.

In Super Freaks Arcade, your goal is to get as high a score as possible. You (and a friend, this does have co-op) will need to collect the rainbow Yorbs all over the level repeatedly; once you fill your quota, the Skull Jar will appear for you to smash, ending the level. All the while, Kranion’s portal will teleport around the level, spawning Kranibots you’ll need to either bop with your spin jump or dodge. Collect a Yorb Star to temporarily become invincible and rack up some combos by running through Kranibots as fast as possible. Be careful! There’s a timer that will kill you if you dawdle too much. You’ll need to juggle milking the current level for points and figuring out when you should actually complete the level.

Super Freaks Arcade also includes a four player battle mode. Here, you and up to three friends can rough each other up to try to collect a certain amount of trophies bouncing around the level. When time runs out, you’ll enter sudden death, and at this point whoever is the last standing will win.
