  Gameboy-like graphics might be seen as a catch but, from my point of view, that's one of its strongest points. The minimalism regarding both graphics and gameplay is what makes it so playable. The variety of environments (underwater, hills and western saloons) and its retro music will keep you glued to the screen.

  Overall, I’m not sure about 2-Bit Cowboy. The game certainly has the right spirit, but it needs some serious patching. The flaws spoil the impression for me.

  But beyond any sloppiness, there are some fundamental design issues here. For one, why actually collect currency? There's little practical benefit because, well, there are only cosmetic items and powerups that can be bought. There's little incentive to actually go out and get money, which renders the missions nigh-worthless.

  However, I can see how fans looking for a deeper platformer experience may not necessarily appreciate such a style. Regardless, I’d still recommend checking out 2-Bit Cowboy as a great introductory experience for newbies and an interesting take on a platformer for everyone else.

  2-Bit Cowboy is both accessible and fun, but the level of challenge offered by each level’s multiple goals means you’ll want to explore, and the more you explore the more chances you have to encounter death.

  A surprisingly expansive platformer that combines Game Boy visuals with open level design to decent effect.
