30 minutes into this game, it feels a lot like "Life of Pixel". It's a simple 2D platformer, with the objective is to reach the end of each stage, and optionally get all 20 bit pieces. So far, there's two worlds you can access as of this post (One being the first image, the second being the third picture) and with each stage you have your casual pretty colours, and then a "inside" of the level, resembling the second and fourth pictures. The stages themselves aren't difficult at all, the controls are pretty smooth, and if I could add one suggestion - Create a "2.5D" world, like that Super Paper Mario did with flipping the characters and making the level layout more "open"

[b] Target Audience: [/b] [I] Nostalgic Platforming Fans [/i] [b] Summary: [/b] It definitely plays to the nostalgic feelings that those of the NES, SNES, and Gameboy eras will remember, and it does that well while bringing an unexpected twist to what you'd expect another 8/16 bit platformer to have. This game is more so for people who like to collect, as the main draw in my mind is the ability to switch between worlds, and optimizing your ways of collecting the 20 bits per level. It's obvious that the designers and programmers were heavily influenced by the games of old, and it shows with great use of nostalgic material and little touches here and there to really play on that. While this doesn't stand out in the platforming section and seems like it could be between in 3-4 hours or less, it's a game that does something just different enough to really work with the genre in question, and is definitely worth a look within the genre.

It's amazing. Reminds me of the old days! (and still presents a challenge!) I would recommend it to anyone who has played through all the Super Mario Brothers and are tired of the same levels over, and over, and over, and over, and over again!

The controls are stiff and imprecise, the levels are mostly filler with no interesting mechanics and the difficulty is mostly "screw up a jump, backtrack 15 feet, wait 5 seconds, try again" And to top it off, near the end of the 4th world the boss blatently rubberbands after you, and everything is a one hit kill. In otherwords, you have to beat the level PERFECTLY with a cheating boss with imprecise controls, no checkpoints, and NO breathing room. edit: I managed to get to the end of the stage, and the boss is BUGGED and kills you anyway. Thus making the game UNBEATABLE.

This game has a good concept and decent graphics, but with it's imprecise controls and numerous sound and enemy bugs, it is sadly too flawed to recommend. Pros: + Nice Graphics + Great Concept with seperate world being entered when you die + References! Cons: - Controls (Feels unresponsive at times, crouching in later levels is trigger-happy and can be activated while jumping) - Bugs (Sound effects in certain places can go wild, some never ending at high volumes and some slowing the game down considerably) - Dying has no consequences. (More of a pain than a worry, making the game seem more like a chore than a challenge) - Sticky Surfaces (Good idea if it weren't for the controls making them somewhat hard to use, especially since you can only remove yourself from them by moving in the opposite direction from where you landed and jumping at the same time) So, get this game if you want a decent look back at games of old, just beware that the game could use considerable polish to reall...

3rd Boss is bugged. After you beat the encounter and you get the achievment the Boss will kill you and the fight will start from the beginning. This bug is almost 3 years old, and with that you can't play World 4.

There's not really much to say about this game. It's a platformer that aims to be a nostalgia trip... or something like that. You need to jump and walk to get to the exit. Sometimes there will be enemies that you can jump on. Their behavior consists of walking and standing still. Exciting, right? The most exciting thing about this game is the ability to go to a code world. Remember the dark world from A Link to the Past? It's basically that, except in order to go there, you must die. In many levels, traveling to the code world is necessary to bypass obstacles. You can return to the "rendered world" by touching a portal. Oh, there are enemies in the code world too. If you die there, you are returned to the last checkpoint in the rendered world. There are these little yellow pixels (green in the second world, that's as far as I got) scattered throughout levels. If you collect all of the pixels in a level, you'll unlock the more challenging version of it; but only after you've beaten the...

This game mystically takes you through the stages of gaming's evolution in chronological order. And it's definitely one of my favorite single-player games I've found on steam. Absolutely wonderful story. What I really found nice about it was it's rewards for crafting it's steam badges, the emotes are of great quality. 10/10.

If you want a solid platformer that isn't too difficult and has a neat game mechanic(around dying), then you'll really enjoy this game. It's light-hearted, aesthetically pleasing, and has its challenging bits(see what I did there?). And if you're wanting some more challenging platforming, the Challenges section of the game can be quite difficult. It currently has some minor cosmetic issues and one issue with the final boss, but the dev team seems very active with the community and is working on them in a timely manner. Overall, I've enjoyed the game :)
