Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage creator Nitrome releases Game Boy-inspired 8bit Doves
Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage creator Nitrome has a new iOS game, and it’s bound to take you on a nostalgia trip back to your Game Boy-playing days.
The game is called 8bit Doves, and it’s an expansion of the hit #Nitromejam game of the same name. As its name suggests, the game features doves rendered in 8-bit pixel art style. And you’ll be needing their help as you fly toward the exit in each stage of the game:
Trapped in a VR world powered by an ancient handheld device, you are forced to endlessly dream in a pixel world of just 4 colours! Doves have taken roost in your prison and though you don’t know it they are the key to your survival. The Doves subconsciously inspire dreams of flight, so take to the skies through the mazes of your imagination and find the exit.
Take a look at the trailer for 8bit Doves:

Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, 8bit Doves is available now on the App Store for $2.99, with no in-app purchases whatsoever.
