2-bit Cowboy

About

2-bit Cowboy is a retro-styled Western action platformer that channels the simplicity of classic handheld games. Take on the role of a lawman in a pixelated frontier town where you chase outlaws collect bounties and scavenge for hidden treasures. Personalize your character with a range of hats bandanas and accessories before riding into chaos on horseback wrestling rodeo bulls or zipping through mine tunnels in a runaway cart. The game's charm comes from its throwback visuals and straightforward fun. Cascadia Games LLC released it in 2014 for mobile devices letting players take the law into their own pixelated hands anytime. While the single-player campaign offers a lean but satisfying adventure the real appeal lies in the zany activities that fill the open levels, like high-stakes poker games and bar brawls, all wrapped in a nostalgic 8-bit package.
