Two Bit Hero

Basically there is a bug that some players will not be able to achieve the intended jump height - so you are unable to jump onto platforms required to progress. I hit this roadblock in the first few screens of the game. This may or may not happen to you. I tested with a friend who is making the jump with no problems, presumably different PC setups = different results. I'd like to revisit this game if it gets fixed, but I've wasted 15 minutes already trying things like altering my FPS, unplugging the controller etc. And I play hundreds of games a year and this is a first. This game is broken.

Good controls and interesting bosses but pretty convoluted with where to go at the end.

As reported by other reviews, and in the discussions, the jump height is broken on some computers, for some arcane reason. My computer is one of them. The character cannot and will not jump high enough to reach the platforms that allow you to actually explore the map and play the game. Time since purchase being too far out for a refund, I'm leaving this review to warn other people to try the jump first, and get a refund if you're one of the cursed.

Two Bit Hero is a retro-inspired metroidvania that mixes classic platforming, exploration-heavy progression, and reality-shifting mechanics into a surprisingly charming indie adventure. Developed by ERMedia and published by Plug In Digital, the game follows a lesser-known superhero trapped inside a massive skyscraper overtaken by strange dimensional distortions and dangerous enemies. What initially appears to be a simple old-school platformer gradually reveals itself as a creative exploration-focused experience built around navigating alternate realities, uncovering hidden pathways, and slowly mastering the building’s interconnected structure. One of the game’s most immediately striking features is its visual presentation. Instead of relying on colorful pixel art or modern retro aesthetics, Two Bit Hero adopts a mostly monochrome art style with carefully used accent colors that give the world a unique identity. The black-and-white environments resemble older handheld games and minimalist arcade titles, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that feels intentionally stripped back and focused. Even with its simple visuals, the game manages to create environments that feel atmospheric and m…

This one is one I'm on the fence with. I feel like it's not bad, but I ended up getting bored and frustrated. I would love there to be a neutral option on Steam, but 20+ years later and there's still not, so I gotta go with a no. Pros - The controls are immediately responsive. This is a big plus in my book, seeing as most games nowadays have issues (especially when scraping the bottom of the barrel). I didn't have any lag or missed inputs in game. Also, if you don't like the layout, there's so many ways to fix that. Even steam has it's own integrated button mapping system you can configure for each individual game, so I don't see why a layout that isn't perfect is an issue. - The exploration with unlocking abilities and upgrades to get to new areas started off well in this game. There's no hand holding, so just running around finding stuff was pretty fun to begin with. - The music and sounds fit the game well. Each area has it's own music, and they're all decent tracks. Cons - Either I missed it, and have been playing blindly for an hour, or there's no in game map. If I missed it, this is just as bad because there should be enough guidance in game to get you to your main point o…
