"Ultra: New Hardcore Retro Platformer Hits Android"

*Collect or Die – Ultra* is bringing back the essence of classic, frustration-fueled platformers with intense speed, brutal traps, and plenty of stickman destruction. Developed by Super Smith Bros, this enhanced version builds upon the original 2017 release, packing in new content while preserving the punishing gameplay fans love.

More Levels, More Hazards, and an Even Tougher Challenge

At its core, *Collect or Die – Ultra* is deceptively simple: collect all the coins in a level and make it to the exit alive. Sounds easy enough—until you realize each level is packed with deadly saw blades, lasers, thwomps, and sentries, all designed to turn your stickman into confetti.

Every failed attempt becomes a hilarious, exaggerated spectacle thanks to over-the-top ragdoll physics and dismemberment effects. So even when you fail—which will be often—you can at least enjoy watching your character get shredded in increasingly creative ways.

A True Test of Skill with Retro Flair

With 90 levels spread across 9 progressively harder stages, *Collect or Die – Ultra* ramps up the difficulty as you advance. Expect faster obstacles, tighter timing, and more precise platforming than ever before. You'll need lightning-fast reflexes, pixel-perfect jumps, and a ton of persistence to conquer every stage.

The game also features competitive leaderboards and unlockable achievements for those looking to prove their skills. Plus, it’s wrapped in a nostalgic 80s VHS-style aesthetic that enhances the retro feel and makes every run feel like a throwback gaming session.

Ready to test your limits? *Collect or Die – Ultra* is now available on the Google Play Store. And before you go, check out our latest update on *More Than You Can Chew*, a card-based arcade game now live on Android.
