It’s simple to interact with but has remarkable depth under the surface ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-08-07, version 1.2.4* Game is strategic and fun, and it has great resource management elements. ### 5/5 — Skip button *2025-02-05, version 1.2.4* My only complaint is the skip button,it’s to close to the move right button I keep accidentally clicking it! ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2025-01-06* Great atmosphere, sound design, story. Good game balance, love to always be on the edge. Thank you for your work🫶 ### 2/5 — Add controller support!! *2024-11-24, version 1.2.4* Please add controller support. ### 5/5 — Very good game (and cute cat!) *2024-06-20, version 1.2.4* I actually met the developer of this game, and was just talking when he told me that he had been trying to get good at making video games as a side job. I took a look at this game, and to be honest, I didn’t expect the level of creativity in such a simple mobile game. Each level is practically its own puzzle as you work to get the fuel and get back to your vehicle, avoiding or killing enemies alike. No matter how much you die, you always learn at least a little bit more. I highly recommend this game in regards to the retro feel and strategy part of it. ### 5/5 — Bit(e) sized fun *2024-03-16, version 1.2.4* I really dig on the small level concept and the puzzle like movement system. The survival aspect feels on point with drops happening almost as you need them, but not always what you need which mimics a more realistic approach to what may or may not be available in a post apocalyptic setting. ### 5/5 — Cool Concept *2024-01-06, version 1.2.4* This is a fun pick up & play game and I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit since I downloaded. It be fun to see a full on story mode but as it is I”m recommending to my friends. ### 5/5 — Very fun experience *2024-01-04, version 1.2.4* Great Game ### 1/5 — Terrible and unfair game *2023-12-17, version 1.2.4* You can never beat this game you lose on week 3 and you lose on day 28 ## Frequently asked questions about 1 Bit Survivor ### What is 1 Bit Survivor? 1 Bit Survivor is a single-player, offline roguelike game with survival horror elements.
