Pitman on Game Boy is one of those deceptively simple dungeon crawlers that hooks you fast. You start with just a little dude in a dark maze, armed with nothing but a torch—and immediately some weird blob monster comes shuffling toward you. Panic sets in, but then you remember the traps you can lure enemies into. That’s when it clicks: this isn’t just about surviving, it’s about outsmarting.

The pixel art has that classic Game Boy charm—everything’s either green or slightly darker green—but the maze layouts get seriously clever. One wrong turn and suddenly you’re cornered by three different creatures, scrambling to remember where you saw that pit trap earlier. It’s got that perfect balance of tension and "aha!" moments when your plan actually works.

If you’re into retro puzzle-dungeon stuff, this one’s a no-brainer. Just don’t blame me when you lose track of time trying to beat "one more level."
