Bitlands [Demo]
A downloadable game
In Bitlands, you must platform across strange, magical terrain while meeting even stranger allies and enemies. As you play, you unlock new allies that grant you special powers that will be vital in order to traverse the dangerous land and defeat powerful enemies!
This version of Bitlands exists for testing purposes, and is incomplete. Here, you may find bugs, as the builds are not 100% stable. Mac builds along with other builds will come in later versions.
If you have played the game before and have a save file, press "Fn4 (F4)" to restart your game and delete the save file.
Controls:
FN4 (f4): Restart entire game progress in main menu options
Space: Jump & Double Jump
WASD: Movement
W & S: Ladders/Vines
E: (Once Energy Companion Unlocked) Launch Energy Blast

Idk man, I think I'll be too poor to afford this game. Big Sadge
Overall Bitlands is a really fun game and I'm looking forward to the full game. There are still some features that I'd like to see added to make the game more fun. There is currently no actual way to pause the game so time stopping in game would be nice. I'd also like if you could move around while shooting in the Crystal Caverns so that you can dodge the mushroom wizard and hit him at the same time. I also feel that the projectile the player and the mushroom wizard shoots shouldn't pass through walls. The player's spawn in each level should also be safe so the player can judge the level and think about what to do. One final thing that would improve the game is clearer messages and warnings for things such as the stalactites and mobs like the crystal caterpillar so the player can only blame themselves for their death. Apart from all of that the game is great and has features like the critter journal and pixies that I really like. As I said I can't wait for the full game so keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll act on this feedback for sure!
THIS GAME IS SO FUN!
Something is wrong, I can't get past main menu, when I click play it just reloads menu
Weird. I'll fix this ASAP if it's a problem on my side.
I am having a similar problem I press play and it just fades out and fades back into the main menu
Hey! I have fixed this error. It had to do with players who have never downloaded Bitlands before. The save file check wasn't working, but it should be fixed now. Download it and try again and tell me how it goes!
It works now
A really well-polished game, the movement just feels good, the enemies are intuitive yet challenging to defeat and maneuver around, the story is cool, and the humor is great. The art is really good too. I could definitely see people paying for a game like this, yet I got to do it for free. Thank you!!
Really enjoyed it, Everything looks amazing. The only criticism I have is that the controls feel a bit off. Making the hitboxes for jumping on enemies larger and the jumps a little move floaty and adding Coyote Time when jumping would go a long way to making the controls feel better. It would also be cool to see some more collectibles hidden in the levels to make them less linear and add some exploration!
Great game so far, Keep it up!
Thanks!
Really like the art style, and the game feels very polished! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Played the beta too and I like it. It has potential, the pixelart is sweet, I want to see more of the second companion. :)
Awesome!
