What game is the best tribute to the 8-bit era?
Any actual 8-bit game. "retro style graphics" are an excuse to cheap out on having to work on designing your game.

cave story
whole game is a giant love letter to 8-bit games, it did pixelshit years before it was even acknowledged as a style and it arguably did it better than any game since
shovel knight and maldita castilla also deserve a mention
Shovel Knight is the only one out of those that's even close to actual "retro".

I understand how you feel, I usually also hate ice or water themed levels, but this one was surprisingly fun.
