ORCS is a retro-style action platformer developed and published by Pixel vs Pixel that embraces classic arcade-era design philosophies with confidence. Built around precise movement, difficult enemy encounters, and straightforward progression, the game feels like a deliberate tribute to older generations of side-scrolling action games that valued mechanical skill above accessibility.

Played nearly all of the games of "Pixel vs Pixel" and what can I say about them? They are simple. "ORCS" is the first of the releases and it is as basic at it gets: The story and premise is simple, the gameplay-mechanics are simple (jump, attack and throw), the presentation from pixel-artwork to music is simple.
