21 Bytes

In 21 Bytes you feel like a crazy Neanderthal. You have a very limited lifespan and the only way to extend it is to hunt and eat dangerous game. The game is a combination of a melee action brawler and an arcade game in which you climb rock formations. In addition, you also upgrade your abilities and acquire new weapon types.

By killing a variety of monsters, you level up in one of three stats. The first is offensive, the second is defensive, and the third symbolizes agility. They are colour-coded, so you know which creatures increase your level in which area. The red ones give you better attacks, the yellow ones give you abilities like climbing stones, and the green ones give you the ability to jump higher or break rocks.

This is a great game for someone who wants to try something more original. If you think a bit tactically and attack animals from a jump, for example, and prefer to wait for the more difficult ones, you won't have many problems. If you're the stressed-out type, I recommend keeping an eye on the time and not noticing the dark forest rhythms.
