    Even though Pity Pit feels like an authentic retro game, its fun factor only lasts so long as you try to top your previous efforts.

    With an old school arcade mentality Pity Pit manages to be good fun in short bursts, but those looking for a more substantial experience might be left wanting here. Achievement hunters will lap it up, but it’s probably not something they’ll come back too once that final one pops.

You will encounter the same tilesets several times in a level, but they'll never be in the same order twice. Along the way, you'll find coins and materials as well as hearts. You start the game with 2 hearts, and when you run out of them, your runs over. Also at the end of each stage, you will find the shop and forge, in the shop you can use coins to get more hearts, and your materials to upgrade your gear. Upgraded gear digs through the various blocks faster. A balance between collecting and moving is a must as soon after you start a stage the ceiling begins to collapse in on you.
