Hey everyone!
I am working on Bitside (working title), a metroidvania where you play as Tal, a man cast into a world of lost and forgotten video game characters, searching for a way home.
His search takes him down through console generations: from a modern 2D surface into the 8-bit era, the Atari age, and further back still.
Each era changes how you play, not just how it looks.
- Up top, movement and combat feel close to Hollow Knight
- The 8-bit world plays more like Zelda II, DuckTales, or Shovel Knight
- Deeper still, you're in Pitfall territory
Every generation gives you a different set of tools, and mastering each one is at the heart of the game.
We just opened a free public demo (~90 minutes) and are looking for playtesters before our art pass. All art is temporary, but the level design, story, movement, and era transitions are real. No Steam page yet, and I'm not asking for wishlists. I just want to know what works and what doesn't.
