memset 0x801

Memset 0x801 is a unique game that takes inspiration from Micro Fun's Miner 2049er, which was originally released in 1982 for the Apple II (and various other systems). The game boasts a microscopic setting inside a computer and puts players in the shoes of beings made entirely of electricity. Your job is to zero out bytes in memory by simply walking over each byte in the level. After you have accomplished this, you move on to the next level.

However, it's not as easy as it sounds. The levels are fraught with compiler warnings lurking around, and getting too close to them may trigger a bug that wipes out your progress. The game also features source files that, once picked up, give you a limited time to fix the compiler warnings. This adds a sense of urgency to an already exciting game.

To navigate through the levels, you can travel from one block of memory to another using strings and pointers. Strings can be traversed at will, but pointers only go one way and take you directly to their destination if you walk over the bytes from which they originate. Additionally, players can make short jumps, but must be careful not to fall too far as the impact from a long fall could destroy their electrical being.

Overall, Memset 0x801 is an exciting and challenging game that merges retro elements with a modern setting. Its unique concept and mechanics make it stand out from other games, making it a must-try for fans of action-puzzles games.
