What it is

Dead Bits is a short, arcade-style first-person shooter with blocky voxel graphics and a dubstep soundtrack. You play as a character named Quilly who has been abducted by aliens and must shoot his way through nine brief levels using weapons such as a pistol, shotgun, machine gun and a baseball bat while fighting off cube-shaped alien enemies and dodging instant-death environmental traps. The action is cartoonish with no blood or gore, and there is no sexual content, strong language, substances or other mature material. It is a single-player game with no online play, chat or in-app purchases.

How it's framed

The game frames its combat as light, comedic sci-fi action: the player is a kidnapped hero fighting for freedom against faceless geometric aliens. There is no moral weight attached to the violence, no realistic injury, and no narrative themes beyond the simple escape premise.
