About Tanzer

Tänzer is a homebrew action title inspired by games like Strider, OSman and Hagane: The Final Conflict, the art of Keita Amemiya and Roger Dean, and anime series like Guyver. The protagonist is a ballet dancer who is unexpectedly hit by a bright purple light at night in an apartment, just a week before the premiere of the ballet version of The Ariane. After the character wakes up the body is transformed and the world is in chaos. Each level has a different setting, ranging from the Old West to Ancient Rome. Levels are made up of several stages with mini bosses and then a large boss at the end of the level, acting as the guardian of that era.

A ballerina action-platformer funded on Kickstarter.

Tänzer is an action-platform game by Mikael Tillander, published by Mega Cat Studios in 2019 on cartridge. This is an unlicensed cart, made without Sega's licence. You play a ballerina whose body has been transformed to fight enemies in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Tillander has said that he remembered Hagane: The Final Conflict when looking for an idea for a project on the Mega Drive. The game was funded through Kickstarter.

Before you buy

A modern cartridge, so it is a new product. Buy from Mega Cat Studios or a known seller, and ask for a photo of the board if buying secondhand.
