The moment of the week long awaited by a significant number of users of iPhone and iPad arrived because Apple updated the Recommendations page this morning App Store and he did not forget to announce the application of the week. Of course that application of the week is offered free of charge by Apple, and for the next seven days we will have the opportunity to download an interesting game. 8bit Doves is the name of the application created more for those nostalgic for the games of yesteryear.

The interesting game of those from Nitrome introduces us to the atmosphere of the games for Gameboy, from which it borrows the colors, as well as the pixelated graphics, specific to the 90s, thus recalling the era of 8-bit games. The mechanics of the game are also borrowed from the video game released about 35 years ago, being extremely simple.

The action in 8bit Doves takes place in three worlds with suggestive titles (“Sweet dreams”, “Deep sleep” and “Nightmare”), which bring pigeons to the center of our attention. The goal is to fly with the pigeons through a maze trying to find the exit and pass the level. To achieve this, you will have to use the two buttons thought by the developers. Also, in order to accumulate bonuses in the Game Center, users will be able to collect with them other pigeons that they find in the worlds they travel with. During the game you will encounter a series of obstacles more important than static walls, including areas where pigeons fly faster, areas where the walls move and more.

8bit Doves game is an interesting one, being considered by developers and users who have tested it, a “cure for nostalgics” after Gameboy. Children of the 2000s will not find this game attractive especially because it does not have graphics that use millions of colors, but their parents probably will, especially if they used video consoles launched over 30 years ago.

The game 8bit Doves is available on App Store in the form of a universal application for iPhone and iPad, being compatible only with those devices that runiOS 4.3 or a later version of the operating system. The game size is 37.1 MB. What you need to know is that the application will be valid until March 20.
