Indie Games Gothenburg recently held a game jam, where all kinds of unique and interesting game ideas were created. One of those projects was was DonkeyKong.exe, which aims to twist Donkey Kong Country with the vaporwave scene. The end result is something so 90s it hurts, and that's meant as a compliment. The game is only a few minutes long, but does a great job of nailing the current vaporwave trend and turning it into something playable.

Just incase you're wondering what vaporwave is...

Vaporwave is a microgenre of electronic music that emerged in the early 2010s. The style typically features a fascination with music from the 1980s and 1990s such as lounge music, smooth jazz, R&B, and elevator music, that is sampled or manipulated via chopped and screwed techniques and other effects.
