Reviews for 2-Bit Explorer

It's very good, and with the aid of comments here, I managed to gather all six of the core items, complete all upgrades with the smith, and get all the way to the Bad Moon Rising ending (which I tried with no patron and each of the three), having already done the Twilight Zone and For Whom the Bell Tolls endings. However, I can't seem to find a 15th Valac Shard despite roaming everywhere I could find with the helm, including back near the start outside the labyrinth, and trying to blow, smash, or cut anything I saw along the way.

I wasn't sure whether there's anything to do with the golden artifact in shop basement of the forgotten city, though I did try using the ring on the shade in the door on the east side of the city. There's also that concealed chapel on the surface in the west garden area of the labyrinth, and I don't remember finding anything special to do there.

Like one of the other commenters, I'd also say the waiting in the darkened maze is a solution that could use a hint. The only apparent bug I hit was one time with Limnos where the outer door (near the pyre) was shut when I tried to leave after accepting patronage, forcing me to reload an earlier save since there was no other means of escape (I have no idea what caused it, except maybe playing around on the roof of that building)

EDIT: I finally got the last Valac Shard after seeing the comment about shoving blocks. I'd seen the blocks in question and found them curious, but hadn't noticed any hint suggesting a particular arrangement. A pattern on the floor there would be useful.

This game is very fun, but some of the places I've gotten stuck on are really frustrating. I spent a long time frantically running around the maze trying to find the elevator, and never would've found it without reading a comment about how the solution was waiting. Currently, I've made it to The Edge, and I have four tablet pieces plus the infinity key, but I'm completely stuck.

It'd be great if there was some kind of hint system, or a walkhrough somewhere. There's only so many times I can try re-exploring the entire map only to find nothing.

Loving this game but I'm hopelessly stuck. I never found the fan which is keeping me out of some doors. I have found the underground chamber of cultists, do I need to make them speak in a particular order? Help, but also, amazing world building.

really great atmosphere and art. i just have to nitpick that this is 1-bit color. not 2-bit.

a cool way to do 2-bit would be to have a bit for red and another for green. this would give you red, green, yellow, and black. you could also do red and blue which would give you red, blue, purple, and black, etc.

if you want white, you need many more bits to approximate it well.

Might want to fix that thing where attempting to save or load hardlocks the game

Hello there! Could you elaborate on the bug you found? Is it an error message? Does the game simply freeze when you save or load? If you could say which browser you are using and if you are on an Incognito Window it would be helpful too! THank you!
