Pixelman is a small arcade game and scoring very pleasant and fun to play, its retro side has brought back to the surface my years high school where I was drying math classes to spend my pocket money on the arcade terminals at the corner Bistro.
As for the games of this time, the grip is very easy (note that it is better and more enjoyable to play on the gamepad, but nothing prevents you from using the keyboard/mouse combo), and the first goal is I would say to do its best , try again and again to surpass themselves and try to rank in the top 10 on the leaderboard.
In the beginning you play as Pixelman, a flying superhero tasked with rescuing the citizens (as well as their company annimals) from Pixville torn by the attacks of Baron von pixel's minions.
Then you can unlock 2 other characters: Pixelgirl and the mysterious (and very difficult for me) Pixelninja.
You will have to do, cross 3 levels to different sets: first a small village with the appearance of Wild West where you will even have the opportunity to wear a cowboy hat provided to be skilled enough to catch it in flight...
If you reach the end without scratching against a House and without getting killed by the planes or jeeps that are on your tail, you will then find yourself crossing the big city with skyscrapers and dense traffic...
To finish it is beyond the clouds, very high in the Galaxy that you will finish your journey.
If you just go ahead without saving anyone, your hero will slowly lose his energy and eventually die, save as many people as possible without missing one. Uh, is that possible? I do not know, can be LOL my maximum was 110 combos.
You can also recover powers up that will allow you to either advance faster (but beware at high speed the dangers are harder to avoid), or will give you immunity for a certain period of time. When the species of atoms that seem to dance in the air, they will allow you to shoot the enemies.
At the end of each world, there is a boss to fight in an impartial time. You will have the choice between 3 levels of difficulty: easy, normal and hard but they will unlock as and when.
If you managed to defeat these 3 difficulty modes, you can then tackle the endless mode, which is also 3: one for each world.
In the options of the game you can also increase (or decrease) the speed of advancement of your superhero or heroine if you are in lack of challenge...
What more to say, the pixel art graphics are very pretty and the annimations are cute and funny, the music and the sound are OK and not taken head. Successes are well suited to the game not always easy but not impossible either.
To summarize PIXELMAN what is it?
A retro arcade game, addictive, fun with a good little dose of challenge that requires a lot of attention, reflexes and dexterity. We will not be glued to it several hours of sharp (though...) but we can not resist the urge to go back often to surpass oneself, try to beat the records of his friends and who knows how to arrive may be one day at the head of the ranking.
For me it's done!!! yesss I got the 100% and ranked first in the arcade mode!! For how long I do not know but I would not let myself dethrone as easily, I monitor the scores Hey hey if you want more ratings visit my curation page
