    Nostalgia and modern technology collide to create a fine example of iOS platforming. Tight controls, classic Game Boy visuals and plenty of collectible treats give gamers plenty of bang for their buck, and without getting a single saddle sore. Giddy-up! [Episode 5, June 2014]

    2-Bit Cowboy is both accessible and fun, but the level of challenge offered by each level’s multiple goals means you’ll want to explore, and the more you explore the more chances you have to encounter death.

    Under the retro style there's a very entertaining platform/shooter.

    A surprisingly expansive platformer that combines Game Boy visuals with open level design to decent effect.

    The platforming here is simple, but also pleasantly familiar. [Issue#250, p.74]

    2-Bit Cowboy has a lot of great ideas, but they just never quite pay off.

    2-Bit Cowboy offers a great style, but is missing some of the gameplay substance making it worth considering depending on the nostalgic appeal.
