Remember Passage? That game with a tiny resolution but strangely involved gameplay? Well, welcome to the otherside of the design scheme. What Microland is, is an action platformer set in a world which inhabits just 128 pixels wide and 64 pixels high.
The gameplay is fairly straightforward fare. Certain enemies can be jumped on, while others cannot. Combine jumping on one enemy with another and another for combo chain multipliers, which up your score.
Obviously the main gimmick is the size of the game and the fact that, yes, it really does fit in that tiny resolution. It's playable and fun sure enough, but will the gimmick last? I don't think so. But it sure is entertaining enough. I'm all for seeing where the tiny-screened games can go in the future.
