Many of us are excited for the time-travelling assassin movie Looper , but for Deepak Chetty that anticipation led him to reimagine the film in retro video game form.

Still, it’s a fun video nonetheless — even if the gameplay does look a little, well, limited. It also makes us wish there was a real game version, because as titles like Beneath a Steel Sky have shown us , pixels and gritty sci-fi are a perfect match. You can watch the full video below, and if you haven’t already, be sure to check out both the initial teaser and the extended trailer for Looper , which is due to reach US..
