Don’t let this title mislead you, as it is referencing something that clearly doesn’t exist. I’m not talking about unicorns either, they obviously exist. No, I am talking about 1-bit, this is the fictional part of that videogame title. Here is the proof that unicorns exist: Unichrome: A 1-bit Unicorn Adventure is out today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
1-bit implies that Unichrome is a very basic game with a limited colour palette. In the game you are living in a black and white world as a lonely unicorn, on the search for a bit of colour.
But this unicorn is that desperate for some colour, it is willing to shoot anything in its way. Armed with several guns, can you get this unicorn to what they desire most in this 2D platforming shoot ‘em up?
Unichrome: A 1-bit Unicorn Adventure also features:
- Fast-paced, relentless platforming action
- Fully voiced characters starring Olivia Vidas and Christina Costello
- Amazing 1-bit retro art style
- Original Soundtrack by Jaggy Fox
- 16 Screen Filling Bosses!
- Over 40 Levels of bullet hell madness
- 8 Unique worlds to explore and destroy
- 16 Tools for destruction
A gun-wielding unicorn blasting away opponents on the search for a more colourful world? If you like your stories a bit surreal and inspired by the likes of Rick and Morty and The Simpsons, Unichrome: A 1-bit Unicorn Adventure is definitely one to keep on your radar.
