What is a 1-bit?

I'm curious to know what does 1-bit mean in terms of developing and also of limitations.

I could google it, or chatgpt it, but I think your answers would be a lot more enlighting

Developer

1 Bit art only uses 2 colors. Technically, I think I'm stretching the genre here since there's 3 colors throughout the game, but since each tile / sprite only uses 2 colors (black + 1 color) I think it still counts.

Thats pretty cool! I also saw that the "tiles" are a lot smaller, I think it looks great and also counterintuitively makes the scenes feel more expansive
