The main objective in MC8Bit is to lead Alex and Steve to the finish line within the world of Minecraft, navigating through challenges and gathering resources.

The game starts by leaving the safety of your home and venturing into the eerie forest where monsters lurk.

When encountering monsters in the forest, focus on battling the creatures instead of using your trusty pickaxe, as it won't be helpful in this environment.

Obsidian is important because these stones are essential for creating a portal. You need to collect every piece of obsidian you find to ensure the portal appears, allowing you to progress to the next level.

If you don't collect all the obsidian, the portal won't appear, and you won't be able to move on to the next thrilling level.

In MC8Bit, you guide both Alex and Steve together in their adventure towards the finish line, but you control them as a team rather than switching between them.

MC8Bit focuses on exploration and resource gathering rather than a strict time limit, but you must efficiently manage your actions to reach the finish line.

To prepare for the challenges in the forest, make sure to equip yourself with weapons suitable for battling monsters and stay alert to gather obsidian pieces scattered throughout your path.
