pixel noun pix·​el ˈpik-səl -ˌsel plural: pixels Definition: any of the small discrete elements that together constitute an image (as on a television or digital screen) pixelated adjective pix·​e·​lat·​ed ˈpik-sə-ˌlā-təd of an image Definition: displayed in such a manner that individual pixels are discernible I post these for the benefit of this developer, because its quite clear he has no idea what it means. this game makes exactly zero use of the pixellated aesthetic. the most pixelated thing about it is the store art. given that the dude couldn't even write a store description without the use of AI to do the thinking for him, i am also confident that it is called 'pixel horizons' out of sheer ignorance, it was suggested by his AI, or both. if this is a 'pixel' game, then so is literally every single title on steam. Given that the developer cant even be bothered to understand the literal title he chose to give his game, is it any wonder that its poorly optimized, derivative bandwagon-jumping trash? yes, I spent about 10 minutes "playing" this game just to call the developer an imbecile. 100% of this playtime was consumed by a loading screen.

You see a rock with minerals and hope to get iron, etc.? You're wrong, you'll only get stone. So how do you get iron? No idea, no matter what I do.
