Ratings and reviews

High effort good in the majority of what it's aiming for, the sound when jumping is extremely irritating that needs to be mutible for those who don't want it, and there could be a wider variety of enemies with a higher A.I intelligence, when you die the volume for the game over pop up is far to disproportionately loud to other in-game sounds and cretaes a jump scare affect at high volume game playing. But its clearly been a long time to make & it's nostalgic from it's soundtrack to it's visuals.

This game is totally cool just like the old days but shame it isn't longer if ever got a DLC for like an extra 60 or so levels with some cool extras like really trippy backgrounds then I definitely buy or even better if the developer made a weird trippy platform game I buy that but this is spot on the on-screen control buttons work perfectly

Why anyone today would make a game like this without controller support is beyond me, especially one so focused on nostalgia. Its good, just not if you like buttons. Edit: Dev listened to feedback and added controller support. Karma dictates I must now rate this 5 stars.

What's new

Added old-screen effect (CRT) for devoted retro gamers.
Added hidden rooms indicators, for watchful players ;)

Thank you for playing Pixboy <3
