About

1-Bit Explorer is an adventure game focused on exploration where you do NOT save the world and the world does NOT need saving.
The point is to explore to your heart's content and uncover mysteries and secrets (or don't, it's up to you, really).
You are the son of Frank, regular citizen of Moneta Village, which is trying to complete his collection of Ancient Coins. Due to a disease, your father needs your help with this apparently mundane task of gathering 3 Ancient Coins. Each one requires you to explore a bit of the village and its habitants. What you might discover is that there are secrets, ghosts, other dimensions, demons and ancient Kings hiding in the corners. It is up to you to discover this mysteries.

The gameplay consists mostly of various puzzles, either being:
Conversational Puzzles:
Talk your way into making some people do as you want. Saying the right things might turn them into useful people for your quests.
Push & Pull Puzzles:
Rocks can be moved around the environment to either unblock a path or to press buttons and special locations, revealing secrets and opening new pathways.
Lever Puzzles:
Levers can be used to unblock paths, either by activating them in a certain order, activating them in a time limit or simply finding your way into them to uncover new shorcuts.
Timing Puzzles:
Some puzzles require you to do tasks in a certain time limit. Be careful with the timer, because it might be the difference between just failing or straight up dying!
Positional Puzzles:
Puzzles might require you to stand on different places in different orders. Be aware of sounds that can indicate a success or failure!
Environmental Sound Puzzles:
Some times you just need to follow your ears. Be aware of your surroundings and seek out the sounds!
Active Combat:
If you are willing to explore, you might fight your way into a battle or two. Make sure to learn the ropes with a helpful weaponsmith!
Explore, explore and explore:
The game is focused on exploration, so make sure to check every corner and talk to everyone! The world is there for you to experience and discover!

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.
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.

this is too good to be for free
a fun puzzle exploration game and while battle is a little annoying for the few opponnts it hav overall it's great and go find those ld coins and make your ingame father happy
Jugarlo gratis casi parece delito, es un juego conciso pero sorprendentemente denso, y desde luego te lleva a lugares insospechados. Muy recomendable.
Awesome. YOu should port it to playdate and sell it for $5
This free game has better design, atmosphere and more intuitive gameplay than 95% of what I paid for this year. It has no business being free. This is a GIFT. The developer gave us a GIFT, people. Play and enjoy and be thankful.
Fun bite-sized game with some hidden depth if you look for it.
剧情扑朔迷离完全捉摸不透 不知道游戏在向我们交代什么
A very good, short, free adventure game. Like a 2D zelda without combat. Exploration and the world are fun and interesting.
