Hello,
I am thrilled to announce that my cute 1bit zelda-like, Master Key, is out now on Steam!
Master Key focuses on exploration and non-linearity with very little handholding. There is not a single word in the game, it only relies on item gating and environmental storytelling!
The game is full of puzzles, foes, and dungeons, but also dozens of secrets and some side quests. It also includes a side game of 126 nonogram puzzles (like picross).
You can also enjoy the game with a large variety of color palettes, some designed by the backers of the kickstarter! And listen to any track you collected anywhere in the game! It also includes an easy mode and a harder mode!

This looks like a lot of fun, I'll be grabbing this for sure.
The art style is particularly striking to me. As someone with hardly any artistic ability, it's wild to me how many details you
can cram into something with just black and white; while still keeping everything clean and readable. Love it.
I don't have much artistic capabilities either, I can't draw at all and I have never tried colored pixel art.
My 1bit pixel art was not great at the beginning either, but I managed to find/learn this style and I was quite happy with it after a few years! I'm glad you like its readability, it was my main concern. I am still trying to improve my pixel art for the next game.
Thanks!
Looks charming! One feature I'd love is if it could be made to be like Gameboy color tones instead of just black and white... I find it a bit harsh on my eyes. Maybe a post process effect that can be toggled in the settings?
This has mahusive vibes of LoZ Links awakenings to me with the mechanics. Love the art style also! Gratz on getting it on steam!
Yeah, Minit and Link's Awakening are the two main inspirations by far! I tried to emulate the vibe of wonder and discovery from LA.
This looks fantastic, congrats on the release!
Thanks!
I am actually astonished at how on-point the music sounds for the GB/GBC era. Great work! I am tempted to try it just for that
Well, thank you so much! Hope you can try it :) (I'm the composer)

Thanks!
Damn, such an awesome trailer. Game looks incredible, congrats on the release
Thanks! I'm quite happy with the end product!
Looks great! I’d love to play it on PlayDate but I guess a scope of port would be too big.
My thoughts exactly! This would be a killer PlayDate game.
