8 Bit Night is a nice piece to the game puzzle collection adding a unique twist to traditional puzzles as you are able to switch between realities to accomplish tasks.
The puzzles are very fun to play, challenging and with a clear objective of collecting pixels. It has an almost dreamlike shiny graphic display, with guys in black top hats who like to comment on what you're doing.
Gameplay:
Although the puzzles are challenging and unique, there was a lack of a plot, and could use more puzzles, as well as a name for your main character, whom I'm going to call Jack for this review.
Jack has a ghost who's always following him in an inverted two dimensional world. Jacks inverted self, who I like to call Jill, has to work together in order to pick up the much needed pixels in order to advance onto the next level. Filled with hostilities and challenges, Jack and Jill must find their way past ghostly skeletons, spikes, and endless pits as they seek to complete the challenges that await.
I'm impressed by the unique way of using graphics, the simply complex solutions needed to solve the puzzles, and how Jack and Jill move across the world much like penguins.
Closing Comments:
I did have trouble with the lack of any storyline (There's just puzzles here), and that there weren't more puzzles with additional difficulties such as adding a timer. Overall I would recommend this game to any puzzle crazy players out there if the price is right. This game has a couple of hours of gameplay.
