Latest Steam announcements

  • Patch 1.2.28 is deployed! - 20 September 2022

    We've recently discovered that several issues prevented players form getting some of the achievements in the game, including two of the most challenging ones. We sincerely apologize to anyone, who have encountered this problem! Those issues are now fixed and affected achievements should function as intended. Bugfixes: Fixed the issue that was preventing players from properly getting the "That's it!?" achievement after completely finishing the game on "Hard" difficulty. Resolved the issue that prevented players from getting the "Not Turbo enough!" achievement after completing stage 2-1 on "Hard" difficulty without getting any damage. Fixed the bug that prevented players from getting the "Strike!" achievement. Fixed the bug that under certain conditions caused synchronized obstacles like lasers, moving spiked platforms etc. to break their cycles, thus making them much more difficult or im…

  • Big Update! Version 1.2.24 is here! - 17 January 2022

    After reviewing some of the feedback from the players we decided that currently the differences in the geometry between the "pixel world" and the "monochrome world" are not noticeable enough. This in turn could cause a situation where a player would get stuck not seeing where they are supposed to go or not knowing if the platform below them would disappear after transition to the "monochrome world" causing them to fall and potentially die, which was unfair. So we slightly changed the visuals of the game. From now on the geometry elements that only exist in the "pixel world" will have distinct colorful sprites and those elements that only exist in the "monochrome world" will leave a sparkling effect in the "pixel world". This should provide a more fluid gameplay as well as adding some more vibrancy to the imagery. Apart from this we fixed a number of bugs and changed some aspects of the…

  • Happy New Year!!! Oh and the game is postponed. - 31 December 2020

    First of all we would like to thank everyone who helped us create our first game "16bit vs Reality". Also great thanks to everyone who wishlisted the game already. Opening a Steam page for a game is a huge step for a tiny freshly-made studio with no previous experience, so seeing so many of you already showing such interest made us really really happy. Unfortunately this year was (and still is for a couple more hours) full of challenges for all of us. So following the latest internet trend of the year we decided to spend some more time testing the game for bugs and performance issues and postpone the game’s release date from December 2020 to Q1 2021. But don't worry, the game is not going anywhere and we will present it to you as soon as possible. Right now our brave testers sacrifice their New Year celebration time to make this possible, so let's all cheer for them. Thank you for your…

Short description

Retro-style platformer inspired by the 16bit classics. Jump and shoot your way through challenging levels. Watch two distinct visual styles collide. Enjoy the awesome rocking music. In the name of all that is childhood!

About this game

Imagine pixels 16bit vs Reality is a retro-inspired platforming game with a unique twist of using two contradicting visual styles. It’s a story of an ordinary gamer, who’s ordinary Tuesday morning suddenly turned into a thrilling challenge where the power of imagination is his only weapon against a dull grey world where “video-games are evil”. Make your way through the big grey city, defeat evil bosses and uncover the secret behind the gloomy joyless reality. Making this game we drew inspiration from the 16bit classics that we used to play when we were kids. We sought to bring in all the things that made those games so cool. With a fast-paced action, fluid controls and challenging platforming this game is both a parody and a love letter to the gaming industry. Game features Good old classic platforming action. Tight and responsive controls. Variety of gameplay styles from typical run-and-gun to riding the roof of a subway train. Find all the hidden gaming relics and discover your real enemy. Two distinctly different visual styles in one game. Grey and dull visuals of the surrounding world versus colorful retro-styled pixel-art. Two difficulty settings with an additional secret boss! A unique soundtrack. filled with drive and energy. Rocking music tracks specially composed and recorded for the game turned into awesome 16bit-style chiptune versions of themselves. Love!.. that we put into making this game. If you love the good old retro-gaming action. If you like great music. If you ever were told that you “waste your time with all these games”. Then 16bit vs Reality is for you!

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $12.99
  • Highest observed: $12.99

16bit vs Reality's USD price history spans from Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $12.99, the highest is $12.99, and the first visible tracked price is $12.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

16bit vs Reality's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $12.99, from Sep 24, 2026 through Sep 24, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $12.99. The latest run records $12.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $12.99
  • Current list price: $12.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records 16bit vs Reality at $12.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
