8-Bit Boy is a new and upcoming indie platformer that will be released in December of 2012 for PC and Mac; Windows 8 in January/February 2013, and eventually on Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U.
This game is, 8-Bit Boy
"is what you get when you cook down all the greatest platformers of the late eighties and early nineties and add a personal and touching storyline, deep engaging gameplay, vast worlds to much to explore and super tight controls."
AwesomeBlade Software founder Rasmus Kønig Sørensen promises that this game will feature:
- over 12 hours of gameplay
- 250+ Hidden Locations
- and 5 Epic Bosses
Sørensen adds that he feels that game designers have been too focused on puzzle solving instead of simple/engaging gameplay. For a platformer, this particular trend is somewhat troubling and it is this trend that prompted him to create 8-Bit Boy.
AwesomeBlade Software was started by Rasmus Kønig Sørensen in January 2012. Sørensen has a degree in Construction Management but because of his lifelong love of video games, he has decided to make this game as he looks for an actual job.
