...Pixel Games
I really enjoy both the art-style and the simple gameplay of super-pixelated games. Here’s a couple examples that are worth a spin, but, be warned, you’re putting your free time at risk.
Quick List of Big-Pixel Games:
- Pixel Grower - Don’t let any pixels drop… watch your character grow fractal-like over time.
- Pixel - You’re a pixel that shoots other pixels. That description sounds like EVERY game, which means it’s the opposite of true because the experience is very unique.
- Small Worlds - Explore a world.
- Squareball - iPhone games. Slide the world to move. Watch a video of gameplay to see if it’s your cup of tea.
I think a big part of my attraction to these games is they don’t try to do too much. The is rarely a narrative or character arc because it’s hard to “identify” with a blob of over-sized pixels. These types of games are often super-concentrated gaming paradigms that most gamers can instantly recognize and quickly get engaged.
Plus, I just really like pixel art.
Know of any other good games in this pixel-style that I should check out?
