Byte Blaster 1.0

Byte Blaster is a platform game that looks and plays as if it were on the original GameBoy handheld console, you play as little animal or monster or something, we couldn't really work out what it is, and you must make your way across platforms, past enemies and obstacles, but be careful each time you die is added to your tally and all your deaths throughout the game will be counted! 

While old school style platformers will always have a place in our hearts there is nothing particularly outstanding with Byte Blaster, the game play can feel a bit sluggish at times and although this is billed as a fats paced platform game it can often feel slow and like not much is going on, there are large sections where you will just be running along platforms with no obstacles and nothing to make the game more lively, it is worth noting that this is still in the Beta stage and improvements will hopefully be made.

Using a controller rather than keyboard and mouse can also add to the experience but there is not much in the form of originality here and it may just make you pine for the days of the original GameBoy Mario games.

A platform game that achieves what it sets out to do in recreating a classic Gameboy game feel but leaves much to be desired in game play.
