    If you ever did machine-level software development, or if you ever used ANSI.SYS on a DOS computer, then Rogue Bit might be cute for tenIf you ever did machine-level software development, or if you ever used ANSI.SYS on a DOS computer, then Rogue Bit might be cute for ten minutes. After that, this game is drudgery like working a boring day job, and a reminder that the Nintendo eStore sells junk.… Full Review »

    I didn't have high expectations going into yet another permanently-on-sale digital-only game, but Rogue Bit's uniqueness caught my eye. BoughtI didn't have high expectations going into yet another permanently-on-sale digital-only game, but Rogue Bit's uniqueness caught my eye. Bought it and received a pleasant surprise.
    The computing gimmick was fun and unique. Although I have a small amount of programming knowledge, I've never worked with machine code before and still found the game fun and understandable.
    It took me about 2 hours to beat. It's a very short game, but appropriate for the $2 to $5 price point. I spend way more than $2 on Starbucks a few days a week.
    I have very few gripes with this game - the only major thing that bothered me was the one, singular song the game had which got pretty grating by the end.    … Full Review »

Despite the blurb about the game, I don't thinkThis game is clever and definitely worth the $2 I paid for it on sale at the Nintendo store. Despite the blurb about the game, I don't think it would have any appeal for someone who hadn't worked in machine code before, but if you have, this is geeky entertainment. On the one hand, you're navigating a maze of 1's and 0's, to try to escape. On the other hand, those 8-bit blocks are ASCII characters, so there's a second panel displayed simultaneously that is the maze rendered (in old-time green characters on black). The rendered maze has walls, but also text that explains a bit about what's going on and/or offers some hints (though the hints are not super helpful). Sometimes, a third panel appears, where you have to pay attention to the machine code and what's happening there... and that's where this game will lose all but the devoted geeks.

    I haven't finished the game yet, 'cause I'm stuck in a machine code loop that I lacked the interest to hammer through late at night. But it's interesting enough for me that I'll go back to it.

    I admire the cleverness of this game, but suspect there's a relatively small audience for it.    … Full Review »
