Who's 8BitBoy?



8BitBoy is out of a job, and quite frankly he's depressed about it. Then he suddenly remembers all the good times he had as a kid, playing his trusted 8-bit console. Deep down in the far and darkest corner of the basement he finds it along with a strange looking cartridge. He plugs in the cartridge right away, and get sucked into a vivid, but decaying world of platforming. And this is where your adventure takes off.

8BitBoy is the platformer I always dreamt about playing as a kid.

It's a fantastic mash-up of the greatest of the late 80's and 90's and a complete game on it's own terms. This is a true tribute to old school gaming and by no means a walk in the park, but it's also never unfair. With big challenges, the sense of accomplishment is always bigger and better.

To me, 8BitBoy is the ultimate classic platformer on PC and Mac. and a symbol of my love and passion for gaming.

Yours Sincerely,
Rasmus Kønig Sørensen
Indie developer and sole creator of 8BitBoy

Not recommended Feb 21, 2026
I must first preface that most aspects of this game are well done, I enjoy the look and style, the music is very good and my favorite aspect of the game, and there are good amount of hidden things to find and explore in levels, but unfortunately, my main issue lies in the slippery controls of the main character and that I find myself getting easily frustrated with the game and level design (particularly from World 3 and onward) to where I end up just trying to book it to the end of the levels to beat the game, not a good sign if that's how I end up playing this game that encourages exploration. I can also acknowledge my patience certainly is lower then it was many years ago, but many aspects of levels starting on World 3 made this a frustrating game and in the end I became determined to at least beat it. In a way the developer kind of designed the game accurately like many retro titles of the past with getting frustrated at certain parts and dying over and over, and was still nice when I beat it, but if you enjoy exploring and finding secrets in a retro style game, you will likely enjoy it, however the time I had with this game is all I'll ever put into it.

I remember getting this as a clueless middle schooler thinking it was some emergent indie platformer like Meatboy or something. I highly recommend doing an online emulator of Mario or Metroid. This is like a school project.
