* HitboxDissonance: Several objects have hitboxes that are larger than you would expect, creating unusual side effects:
** Enemy hitboxes are 24 units (or 24 texture pixels, as all walls and enemies have the same pixel scale) wide, making the game fairly generous when it comes to your shots hitting.
** The player uses the same 24x24 hitbox, making avoiding some projectiles tricky, and sometimes even feeling unfair.
** Pickups have a 32x32 hitbox, filling the entire space of the tile each one is found on. It is sometimes possible to pick up an item through a diagonal wall placement due to the game's wall collision handling.
** The LaserHallway traps have a 32x32 hitbox, even though each laser wall appears to be thin, making traversal of the laser hallways in question ''extremely'' finnicky.

Compared to Thornies, they're a bit tougher, do slightly more damage with each attack, and are twice as fast, making them a decent threat.

As you might guess from the title, the game features an [[{{Retraux}} 8-bit aesthetic]], with entities appearing as 2D sprites [[SpritePolygonMix in a 3D world]] constructed from flat textures, similar to games like ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'', with similarly NES sound effects and a chiptune soundtrack created by [=RushJet1=]. Progression is mostly linear, with 4 chapters each consisting of one straightforward stage, a second more labyrinthine stage where you have to look for [[InterchangeableAntimatterKeys keys]] to progress through {{locked door}}s into a third stage, where you [[BossOnlyLevel fight a boss of the chapter]]. All the while, you find [[SortingAlgorithmOfWeaponEffectiveness progressively stronger weapons]] and [[HeartContainer extensions]] to your LifeMeter and ammo capacity.
Locomalito would later on create ''VideoGame/LAbbayeDesMorts'', ''VideoGame/{{Hydorah}}'' and ''VideoGame/MalditaCastilla'', games that are similarly inspired directly by games from 80s and early 90s.

''8Bit Killer''[[note]]There's no hyphen in the title.[[/note]] is a {{Freeware|Games}} FirstPersonShooter created by Locomalito and released in 2008.

As you might guess from the title, the game features an [[{{Retraux}} 8-bit aesthetic]], with entities appearing as 2D sprites [[SpritePolygonMix in a 3D world]] constructed from flat textures, similar to games like ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'', with similarly NES sound effects and a chiptune soundtrack created by [=RushJet1=]. Progression is mostly linear, with 4 chapters each consisting of one straightforward stage, a second more labyrinthine stage where you have to look for [[InterchangeableAntimatterKeys keys]] to progress through {{locked door}}s into a third stage, where you [[BossOnlyLevel fight a boss of the chapter]]. All the while, you find [[SortingAlgorithmOfWeaponEffectiveness progressively stronger weapons]] and [[HeartContainer extensions]] to your LifeMeter and ammo capacity.
Locomalito would later on create ''VideoGame/LAbbayeDesMorts'', ''VideoGame/{{Hydorah}}'' and ''VideoGame/MalditaCastilla'', games that are similarly inspired directly by games from 80s and early 90s.
