What's new

Patch 1.2.28 is deployed!

2022-09-20

We've recently discovered that several issues prevented players form getting some of the achievements in the game, including two of the most challenging ones. We sincerely apologize to anyone, who have encountered this problem! Those issues are now fixed and affected achievements should function as intended. Bugfixes: • Fixed the issue that was preventing players from properly getting the "That's it!?" achievement after completely finishing the game on "Hard" difficulty. • Resolved the issue that prevented players from getting the "Not Turbo enough!" achievement after completing stage 2-1 on "Hard" difficulty without getting any damage. • Fixed the bug that prevented players from getting the "Strike!" achievement.

Read the full notes

• Fixed the bug that under certain conditions caused synchronized obstacles like lasers, moving spiked platforms etc. to break their cycles, thus making them much more difficult or impossible to pass unharmed.

16bit vs Reality takes us back to the tube TV times, the start is smooth and makes you ambitious to progress and soon after you will experience the real challenges with classic accuracy and timing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1msu3pXZ4E

Alright, I've played 8 hours, I think I have played enough to give a solid review I do not enjoy playing platformers on mouse and keyboard so I decided I would use an Xbox controller, however unable to use the analog stick, I decided to bust out my Sn30 Pro for the authentic classic game experience. This game starts out simple, very simple, until the first boss, you will spend most of the time practically...

Cool art style and a nice perspective changing gimmick, but in terms of gameplay this one's missing the last 30 years of innovation in the genre. Think battle toads with less satisfying combat and just as much desire to milk you for quarters.

Whenever you go into an "unknown" game like this, you are always hesitant. I was pleasantly surprised. Although I'm early in the game everything seems to indicate tight controls and detailed environments. XD
