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!

Had a blast playing this! I love games based around exploration, and this game was a lot of fun! The puzzles were fun to figure out, with me only needing to look up hints to one or two towards the end, and I loved getting a new item and travelling back through the map, finding all the places I could use it and discovering how much more of the map had opened up to me! [spoiler] I didn't look at the steam page very much before playing, so when I got the three coins and realized there was a whole load more game still to play, it was a really pleasant surprise! [/spoiler] [spoiler] I enjoyed most of the temples, though the temple of thorns did feel a bit too punishing, especially with how precise some of the puzzles needed you to be, and how easy it was to die and have to redo the whole temple. But the other three were a lot of fun. The game's combat is pretty interesting, though it does feel a bit unbalanced. Before any upgrades, it feels too repetitive and long, with the bosses having way too much health. But when you fully upgrade it, it feels like the bosses die way too quickly and there's not much challenge. Still, it's a cool addition and was still pretty fun! [/spoiler] This is a great little game, and I really enjoyed playing it!

For an exploration-heavy adventure with multiple endings, quests, puzzles, secrets and plenty of things to discover, 1-Bit Explorer is a perfect example of a game that could have used Steam achievements. There are no achievements or Trading Cards at all, despite obvious milestones such as collecting the three Ancient Coins, completing the temples, discovering secrets and reaching the different endings. The game is otherwise a charming little free RPG, but the lack of any Steam progression is a missed opportunity, especially for achievement hunters. Even the community has specifically asked for achievements to be added.
É uma experiência muito interessante e um criador de muito potencial, espero que tenha muito sucesso com esse mesmo gênero. Aliás, seria muito bom se o dev publicasse seus outros jogos, que estão no itch.io aqui na Steam, pois são tão bons quanto.
Joguinho muito bom, entrei achando ser um jogo curto ou só uma prévia, quando percebi já estava com quase 2h de jogo. Após zerar descobri que tem 3 finais diferentes. ótimo jogo, me prendeu até eu zerar , o que levou cerca de 2h. Pontos positivos: Grátis (um grátis que me valeu muito a pena) Jogo leve que deve rodar até em uma batata Visual design interessante Traduzido em PTBR História interessante e divertida Por mais que seja um RPG e eu estava sem ânimo para jogar me segurou Pontos negativos: Menu não muito bom, ainda mais na hora de usar o sino se não salvar e quando voltar esquecer de carregar e ir no só jogar você apaga o progresso Final do primeiro zeramento me impediu de eu continuar =/ (vou ter que reiniciar para tentar os outros) Análise final: Jogue, se você quiser jogar um joguinho super interessante e de graça.
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.
身患重病的父亲要儿子冒险收藏古币,并不是拯救世界,终于不用背负那些命运了哈
It was fun at first, but later I ran into a bug that made it impossible to progress! After spotting the thief in three locations, using [HELLS BELLS] didn't spawn the door at all, so I couldn't obtain the [MEGAHEART] or the [SOUL CRYSTAL].
