Game summary

Bit Boy!! is an action game for WiiWare. In the game, you play as Kubi, who's friend were taken back in time by a evil 4-bit monster. It is your goal to save all of Kubi's friends. It is played from a top-down viewpoint. The interesting thing about Bit Boy!! is the ability to play in different generations (8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, etc.) As you progress through the generations, more additions will be added to the gameplay, such as the ability to attack and jump. There are four game modes, "Classic", "Warp", "Turbo Classic", and "Turbo Warp". Classic is the standard game mode. Saving all of your friends and wiping out all the monsters is the main goal of this mode. The goal of Warp Mode is to collect as many Time Diamonds as possible, however, if you get hit by a enemy, you will be warped to the next level. Turbo Classic is the same as Classic mode, with the addition of super speed, huge amount of attacks, and unlimited lives. Turbo Warp is the same Warp, with the addition of super speed.

Play Bit Boy!! on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Bit Boy!! on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
