8BitBoy - An Indie Homage to Classic NES-era Platformers
8BitBoy is an indie platformer developed by AwesomeBlade that pays tribute to classic NES-era games, such as Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, and Mega Man. The game follows the story of 8BitBoy, an unemployed and lonely character who gets sucked into the game's world after starting up his old eight-bit console.
The game features five worlds, each consisting of 10 levels and showcasing its unique art style and environment. The basic gameplay formula requires players to reach the end of the level unscathed, with any contact with enemies resulting in death and a reset of the level. Players can eliminate enemies by jumping on their heads, and there is a power-up that allows for projectile shooting, but for a limited time.
8BitBoy is a fun and challenging platformer that will appeal to fans of the retro gaming era.
