GET THE HIGH SCORE....HOWEVER YOU CAN.

486 (pronounced four eighty-six) is a retro-styled permadeath arcade RPG that immerses you in a tough and unforgiving city.

The game is crafted entirely in QB64, enhancing its nostalgic aesthetic.

CONTROLS:
- Arrow Keys: Move Player

RULES / GAME PLAY:
1) Your main objective is to reach the highest global score. How you achieve this is entirely up to you. You can gain reputation by enjoying a drink at the local bar, strut your stuff at BEAT BEAT EVOLUTION, test your skills in the Tag Arena, or engage in combat with other characters.
2) Keep in mind that time and resources are your constant foes. You need energy to maintain your pace and supplies to sustain your life.
3) Build your reputation (REP) to access new areas and increase your strength, but beware; if you don’t, you risk meeting an untimely end.
4) Travel smartly and prepare adequately to face the dangers of the city.
