At its most basic, 2-Bit Cowboy is the lost Game Boy platformer you're hoping for. With tight controls, great level design, and monochromatic visuals, you can play this as the simple "let's head for the exit, cowpoke!" game that it seems to be at first glance. Scratch a little deeper though, and you'll find that 2-Bit Cowboy is a whole lot more.The platforming itself is tight, and despite a total lack of physical buttons, this is a spot on representation of the vintage 1989 experience the developers were clearly after. Layered on top of this is a collection of missions that forces players to explore every last nook and cranny of a level if they want to earn the most coins.Starting these missions requires a bit of exploration too, as they're found on wanted posters scattered throughout the level. You'll face goals like "destroy all the bottles" or "stop the gang," and while the objectives won't change much from stage to stage, each level is so well designed that you won't mind hunting for every last scorpion again.
