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.

  • Minimalist pixel art graphics

Our Review

Byte The Bullet is one of the most pleasant surprises of 2024, an action-platformer game, simple in appearance, but really solid and well finished. Frenetic, exciting and very fun to play.

Its sharp and ironic humor in the story and the small dialogues is one of its main weapons, the other is the enormous amount of references and tributes to classic games of all time. From Frog to Super Mario Bros, through Doom or Prince of Persia, Byte The Bullet is a love letter to video games.
