PIXELMAN

A retro-styled arcade action game about a superhero rescuing Pixville’s citizens from the villain Baron Von Pixel and his traps. In PIXELMAN, the hero flies over the city, saving people and their pets while avoiding buildings, traffic, weapons, and other hazards. Holding a button makes the character rise, while releasing it sends him down; using the pad allows faster movement at the cost of accuracy.

Rescues build a combo meter: after five in a row, the score multiplier increases, while missing a rescue breaks the streak. Heroic energy drains if no one is rescued for a while, and reaching zero causes the character to lose his powers. Shields temporarily boost speed and score and combo multipliers, while protecting against one hit. Atoms grant the ability to shoot fireballs; collecting four enables a powerful super shot. Scores can be compared on online leaderboards.
