8BitBoy

A Platform game by AwesomeBlade, released in 2014

65/100🔴Niche / Inactive🥈Proton SilverPC (Microsoft Windows)Mac

Big classic platformer with tons of power-ups and 12+ hours of main story & 300+ hidden locations just begging for exploration. 8BitBoy is a tribute to all the greatest platformers of the 80s and 90s and a symbol of my endless love and passion for gaming.
