How it feels

A nostalgic 8-bit action-adventure with a synthwave soundtrack, blending retro platforming and exploration with a space-setting combat and crafting loop.

What players say

Players describe Cosmos Bit as a very short metroidvania (about 1–2 hours), clearly inspired by the original Metroid. Many note the game becomes linear after the second area, and the currency system feels grindy. Players split on whether it is a genuine metroidvania or just a retro action-platformer.
