1-Bit Explorer

Awesome. YOu should port it to playdate and sell it for $5

I really like this game so far. Haven't 100%'ed it yet, as I've only played 75 minutes; I haven't even experienced any of the battles yet (I would mark this as a spoiler but to be entirely fair it is listed on the page and seen in the screenshots so if you're down here you'll have seen it already). But I can definitely recommend this game. It's a lot of fun to explore around, and the korok-like collectibles are also really fun. I do have some minor nitpicks, like the movement being a bit clunkier than probably intended for example, but all of those nitpicks are pretty much refuted by one simple thing: This game is free. I'd definitely pay 5 bucks for this. 10 might be stretching it but this game is defintely worth 5 bucks. There's a lot of puzzles and (most importantly) a lot of heart here, so for the low low price of free and about 3 hours of your time, I'd consider this game well worth the effort.

Je n'attendais rien du jeu et ne savais pas dans quoi je m'embarquais : une belle aventure de 4/5h avec un petit monde à explorer et plein de secrets à découvrir. Une très bonne surprise donc qui mérite d'être joué

O jogo tem muito conteúdo, apensar do gráfico simples, o jogo trás um mundo bem rico, com muitas pessoas para interagir, missões, mistérios para resolver, puzzle, que por sinal, são bem legais, a trilha sonora dele é boa. Esse jogo é pra você que está procurando um jogo para começar sem nenhum pretexto, só começar, eu joguei por 3h e consegui um dos finais, mais porque eu comecei a jogar de madrugada, cansei e queria dormir, mas em breve voltarei pra conseguir outro final (Aviso: [spoiler] Se não quiser zerar, não entregue as moedas, pois o jogo termina. [/spoiler]), fora que o jogo é gratuito e ta traduzido em Português Brasileiro. Apenas dá uma chance, vai valer a pena.

Newly released free to play games on steam are 90% garbage and 9% mediocre. This game is the 1%, i genuinely wouldn't mind spending money on this were i given the option. First of all, the presentation is amazing. The graphics, music and sound effects really hearkens back to the NES and Game Boy era, mainly to the early Legend of zelda titles. The game is nearly entirely monochrome, making the few things that aren't stand out even more. The exploration and puzzle solving are also superb, the map is not that big but its so packed with stuff that the world truly feels expansive. The only real criticism i have is that the "combat" is kind of lackluster, once you have the highest tier weapon you can just stand still and shoot the boss until it dies with next to no threat to you. With a non upgraded gun the fights become slogs where you spend the majority of time waiting for your stamina to regen. Still the boss fights are so few and far between that this is a minor nitpick if anything. From what i can tell this was the Devs first game, it first came out in 2023 on itchio and got ported to steam recently, i can safely say i will be playing the other games the dev put out and will be looking out for future releases.
