8BitBoy™

I must first preface that most aspects of this game are well done, I enjoy the look and style, the music is very good and my favorite aspect of the game, and there are good amount of hidden things to find and explore in levels, but unfortunately, my main issue lies in the slippery controls of the main character and that I find myself getting easily frustrated with the game and level design (particularly from World 3 and onward) to where I end up just trying to book it to the end of the levels to beat the game, not a good sign if that's how I end up playing this game that encourages exploration. I can also acknowledge my patience certainly is lower then it was many years ago, but many aspects of levels starting on World 3 made this a frustrating game and in the end I became determined to at least beat it. In a way the developer kind of designed the game accurately like many retro titles of the past with getting frustrated at certain parts and dying over and over, and was still nice when I beat it, but if you enjoy exploring and finding secrets in a retro style game, you will likely enjoy it, however the time I had with this game is all I'll ever put into it.

Lot of love for the developer for the effort that they put into this game. This is a great first project and all the basics for a decent platformer are here. It's sad to see this is the only game released because this a great starting point for a gamedev career. The name 8BitBoy perfectly encapsulates this game. It's pretty basic, does a lot of familiar things that the old platforming pixel games do but in the end doesn't do anything groundbreaking or new in terms of design. It's not a bad game but its not good either. It's ok. Should you play it? Go ahead. Do I recommend it? No.

The game actually controls fairly well and is fun to play in that sense, but the whole thing is brought down by unhinged game design. We're all familiar with limited lives in old platformers. You run out of lives and you start again, usually on the same level or at the beginning of the World that you're on. 8BitBoy throws that all out the window. The game auto saves at the end of each level, and it's more of a save state than a proper game save. Let's say you get to the end of the stage with 2 extra lives and a great powerup. You die and lose your powerup. Now you die again and run out of lives, and get sent back to the save point- your 3 lives and power up are back! Weird, but that doesn't sound bad, right? Now let's say you get to the end of a level with no extra lives and no powerups. The game saves. Now every time you lose a life, you have to go through the steps of reloading your save file and loading into the level- with one life and no Powerups. So the solution here is clear, and not fun- if you die once, you lose the rest of your lives on purpose and start the level again with all your lives and powers- and keep doing this until you get a perfect run through the level and it's safe to save your file again. 8BitBoy is clearly a Mario clone, but it could have still been a pretty fun experience. I like that the fireball powerups work like the bouncing balls in Super Mario Land. And there's some creativity in the stage design. But the core mechanics of the game are too flawed for me to enjoy it.

Um bom jogo plataforma muito inspirado em Super Mario World, tem até o poder de soltar bolinha de fogo, com versões melhoradas. Apesar disso consegue ser distinto e fazer merecer por si só. Possui um bom level design, ao todo com 5 mundos e cerca de 50 fases. O jogo tem uma boa curva de dificuldade. Recomendo fortemente jogar ele com controle.

I remember getting this as a clueless middle schooler thinking it was some emergent indie platformer like Meatboy or something. I highly recommend doing an online emulator of Mario or Metroid. This is like a school project.

Vendu comme un hommage à Super Mario Bros. Dans les faits ça ressemble plus à une des ses contrefaçons qu'on trouvait à l'époque sur des cartouches "5 en 1" venues de chine qu'à un SMB.

Good Game
