Intrepid Izzy, is a independently developed, commercially released video game developed by Dutch studio Senile Team and published by Wave Game Studios.[9] It is a Metroidvania style 2D platformer for the Sega Dreamcast and Windows.
The game was announced in March 2017, followed by a Kickstarter campaign in September 2017, which was successfully funded the following month. Initially projected for a Fall 2018 release, after several delays it was released on 26 July 2020 on Steam. As the physical Dreamcast version could not be patched it was released the following year in August 2021. On December 2, 2022, the game was digitally released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
Intrepid Izzy was Senile Team's first new original game since 2009's Rush Rush Rally Racing. Development of Intrepid Izzy started after 2017's Rush Rush Rally Reloaded. The game was designed, illustrated, animated and programmed by Roel van Mastbergen on a proprietary engine with proprietary tools. Ben Kurotoshiro, who previously scored Rush Rush Rally Racing, returned to compose the music.
Senile Team revealed the project in March 2017.[10] The developers launched a crowdfunding kickstarter campaign in September 2017, with the goal of raising €35,000 and a projected release date of October 2018.[11] A playable demo was released on October 25, 2017.[12] The game was successfully funded a day later with 413 backers pledging €36,367.[13]
