Weezer Debuts Retro 8-Bit Style Video Game for Fans Titled THE END OF THE GAME
This week, the band Weezer has contributed something cool to the fans out there who are getting a little desperate in their quarantine. The guys in the band have created a throwback 8-bit style video game called The End of the Game, based on the band’s song of the same name from their upcoming album. Here’s the game description from Variety:
The “The End of the Game” game has users playing as one of the band’s four members and jumping and shooting their way in a (surprisingly difficult) boss fight against an oversized, beanie-clad alien. Players can nab extra lives by grabbing a number of Weezer-related items (surf wax, for one).
The alien boss you face in the game is the same one from the band’s music video for their song The End of the Game. Weezer announced the game on Twitter on Friday, and described it as the “perfect game to play while you’re stuck inside and done watching Tiger King.” Sounds good to me! Check it out below, and follow the link to play the game.
Enjoy the game, and check out Weezer’s new album Van Weezer, due out May 15th!
