Byte the Bullet is in part a parody of multiple classic games. Several 80s & 90s are spoofed, and the game is primarily based in classic 2d platform games like Rockman(1987) or Super Mario Land 2(1992). Some games like Prince of Persia (1989), Doom (1993), Alley Cat (1983) were also parodied in some Levels.

Atmosphere:
Huntdown all the curious viruses that you meet through this infected computer.

  • Minimalist pixel art graphics
  • 80’s style themed
  • Small gags plenty of sarcasm and humor
  • Incredible Music by David Fesliyan and Sound FXs by Juhani Junkala
