Our Expert Score

85/100

Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake is a love letter to the era of the original Game Boy. It perfectly captures that specific 4-shade green aesthetic and chiptune soundtrack that made the handheld so iconic. But don't let the retro look fool you; this is a modern Metroidvania through and through. The map is interconnected, the ability gating is clever, and the platforming is surprisingly precise for a mobile title.

The remake adds several 'quality of life' features that make it a joy to play today. The touch controls are some of the best I've used in a platformer, feeling responsive and customizable. Exploring the dungeon as Timmy feels like a genuine adventure; finding a new item that allows you to double-jump or dash through a previously impassable spike pit is incredibly satisfying. It’s a short but sweet experience that respects your time while offering a genuine challenge. Whether you grew up with the Game Boy or are a fan of modern indie Metroidvanias, this is a must-play.

The 'Ring of Force' Secret

Once you have the 'Dash' ability, return to the very first screen of the dungeon. There is a hidden wall on the upper right ledge that leads to the 'Ring of Force,' which doubles your attack range.

Save Points

Look for the statues with the glowing eyes. These are your save points and checkpoints. In 'Hard Mode,' these are much further apart, so play cautiously between them!
