About Demented Pixie
Fairies, Pixies, Sprites… many names have been given to the Fair Folk. Born of magic, and magic themselves, they raised the greatest of civilizations, the City of the Wailing Lights. But even with almost limitless power they fear one thing above anything else: Madness.
Demented Pixie is a blend between twin-stick shooters and roguelikes with unique visuals and ambientation, packed with content, in which nothing is what it looks like…
Explore the randomly generated dungeons in search of the keys and portals that will allow you to advance, carefully evading the myriad of traps and enemies that surround you. Make use of every magical item you find to your own advantage and make your magical powers evolve by equiping marked pieces. Fight bosses in an spectacle of ever-shifting light and darkness.
Fairies, Pixies, Sprites… many names have been given to the Fair Folk. Born of magic, and magic themselves, they raised the greatest of civilizations, the City of the Wailing Lights. But even with almost limitless power they fear one thing above anything else: Madness.
A Pixie with a shattered mind has unrestrained, chaotic powers, and so any one of them showing the slightest hint of insanity would be locked away for an eternity. Legend has it that in the deepest, darkest dungeon lies the most powerful one.
Now it tries to escape again, with sanity as its guide, and madness as its weapon.

This game won't hold your hand. Sometimes a shrine will curse your equipment, some mark combinations prove less effective than their separate components, sometimes you get trapped in a room full of enemies or a unidentified magic scroll halves your remaining health. There are secret paths with strange requeriments and you have to choose your perks wisely. There's always a way out, but sometimes it won't be evident. Enjoy the madness.

After launch this game opened in 640x480 fullscreen mode, shown 5 minutes intro movie that cannot be skipped, and when main menu finally was on screen - it appeared to be broken (mouse cursor was there, but I cannot click on anything, including "Exit"). I had to kill the process via Task Manager (in 640x480). 10 Demented Pix[b]el[/b] Nightmares out of 10.10 found this helpful
It is a roll of the dice, when you buy a game without many reviews. In this case, it feels like the dice are loaded against you.8 found this helpful
It feels very slow to me for a twin stick shooter, and the difficulty varied wildly depending on the items available in each of my attempts. The Linux port worked fine for me, and I had no other issues with the game. I didn't like it, but if the things I mentioned don't deter you, then I think it's worth trying.4 found this helpful
I really like the plot's idea, but the gameplay itself is way too basic and crude and enervating.3 found this helpful
I really like this game. It reminds me of the old 80s Ultimate games like Atic Atac and Sabre Wulf, only with a really nicely polished modern twist. The mystical vibe gives it a nice storybook feeling and I like the story that goes with it. There are plenty of power ups to explore and the map seems big (as I'm writing this I've only played around 30 minutes) with some fun boss battles (Guardians) in the dungeons. The music is good - plenty of atmosphere there, too, and the audio is good throughout. All-in-all, if you like the gameplay of those old Ultimate top-down games like I do, I'd say this game delivers :)3 found this helpful
Its really beutifully designed. So simple yet intricate.. if you're looking for some puzzle like retro game with an adventure.2 found this helpful
