Let's Try: Bit Evolution: Platformer is Evolving!
12Bit Evolution definitely plays to the nostalgic feelings that those of the NES, SNES, and Gameboy eras will remember, and it does that well while bringing an unexpected twist to what you'd expect another 8/16 bit platformer to have. This game is more so for people who like to collect, as the main draw in my mind is the ability to switch between worlds, and optimizing your ways of collecting the 20 bits per level. It's obvious that the designers and programmers were heavily influenced by the games of old, and it shows with great use of nostalgic material and little touches here and there to really play on that. While this doesn't stand out in the platforming section and seems like it could be between in 3-4 hours or less, it's a game that does something just different enough to really work with the genre in question, and is definitely worth a look within the genre.
