UFO 50 is an impressive indie game collection celebrating the nostalgia of 1980s gaming. Created by Mossmouth, it includes 50 original retro-style games, designed to capture the look and feel of 8-bit classics. The collection is framed around a fictional studio called UFO Soft, adding an interesting narrative element.
The games in UFO 50 cover various genres, such as platformers, RPGs, and strategy games. Each title uses a 32-color palette and sound effects that evoke the era, offering an authentic retro experience. While they look retro, these games also feature modern design and creativity, blending nostalgia with innovation.
