Hey, iv'e been a long time armor games visitor.

I usually cant complain about the games that come out, because most of them are good games. but this recent fad with pixel/bit size games have really started to get on my nerves. i will say that most of these games aren't really that good, but the ones that are good would totally be better with an art style and not this retro feel that all the creators have been in.

so if anyone would like to enlighten me as to why these games are so popular, PLEASE do so. all i really want is another perspective.

Because the art style is so simple and was basically the original art style for games in the beginning.

Why would the actual game be better just because the art style is different? It's still the same game, and the artwork isn't bad, it's just a different style.

^ This.

Also, do bear in mind that there are great quality games out there with poor artwork and graphics, as well as plenty of terrible games with great artwork. Which would you rather play?

Dude I think your thinking of nitrome games.. those are fun if youre really young or really high but otherwise they are totally boring and have really annoying music

The nitrome games are really old, and this thread is about the new ones.

And now replying to the topic:

It's not just the new 8bit/16bit games, all the new games on armor games have seem to go down quality wise and fun wise.
