The Snidewalk: Taking a Dangerous 8-Bit Stroll in NYC

March 12, 2020 By ausretrogamer

If you’ve ever walked the streets of NYC, Graham Davis’ The Snidewalk game will hit home!

Using an 8-bit aesthetic, and tunes to match, this free (desktop or smartphone) game, sees the player walking the NYC streets, with the premise being that you must avoid all obstacles to gain  points, from the pesky cat and the unpredictable delivery rider, to the Instagramers taking photos on the footpath and the mass of dog walkers.

We failed miserably on our first attempt, only hitting The Pizza Rat! Right, time to hit the pavement yet again, see ya!
