About MC8Bit
Are you ready for an 8-bit gaming adventure? In this 8-bit game, youll need to guide Alex and Steve to the finish line in Minecraft. Leave the house and be cautious of monsters in the spooky forest. Your pickaxe is of no use here, so dont rely on it. Defeat the monsters in the forest. Collect all the obsidian stones. If you dont collect the obsidian stones, the portal wont form. Without the portal, you cant progress to the next level. *Played with WASD + Arrow Keys. *Mobile touch control is available.
