About Pixel: ru²

Story



We live in an amazing time. Computers are becoming smarter and more powerful, and more tangible items are being turned into digital data. Science predicts that within the next hundred years artificial intelligence (AI) will be as smart as humans. Imagine the possibilities if this trend continues for thousands of years.

In the distant future, AI will be so common in technology that even a single pixel in an image file may be controlled by one. Pixel: ru² is a tale of a sentient pixel that is tasked with eliminating a virus and restoring corrupted image files. Being a pixel isn’t easy; you’ll face infected pixels, puzzles that require color and gravity manipulation, and precision platforming challenges. You can complete your mission as efficiently as possible, or you can let your curiosity lead you to bits of information that may reveal the bigger picture.

About



Pixel: ru² (are you squared) is a game that is a combination of a platformer, a shooter, and a puzzle game. The gameplay features color theory based puzzle and combat mechanics and gravity manipulation based puzzle and platforming mechanics. There are a lot of simple systems stacked on top of each other which makes it easy to learn, but difficult to master.

Early Access



Since Pixel: ru² was first conceived, we've been deigning it for be a competitive game. You don't need to compete to enjoy the game, but we built the score system around players competing with each other on global leaderboards. To help make sure everything is balanced, we're providing access to the game early. This will allow us to see what needs to be adjusted to help make the game better overall. We do plan on raising the price as we add more content to the game. If you'd like to purchase the game at a discount, buy it now before it goes up in price. Doing so will also help you shape some of the game's mechanics. If you're not willing to take the risk on an Early Access title,

I got the game and "No card drops remaining", but it is clearly saying "Steam Trading Cards" on Steam Store page + Steam points shop is gone.. and I cannot even make Pixel: ru² booster pack.. This is by far the most craziest thing I've ever seen on Steam ;D gg 10/10 ..

A very short game if you're good at platformer puzzlers. You can probably speed-run the whole game in less than an hour. But it's in a good place for competing (maybe I'm biased because I hold a lot of the first place times) and it's a lot of fun to figure out the puzzles. These devs are very active - I've seen them at PAX every year, and they always have a new level to show off!

Pixel: ru² has several neat ideas with color based platforming and puzzle solving that I feel are well implemented. It's music is solid and it's sound design is competent. But I feel it's making a few mis-steps that are preventing it from becoming an excellent game. Firstly, the controls feel a little twitchy. There are times when I would try to nudge myself along and found myself careening off of a platform to my death. As death is cheap and there are frequent save points throughout most levels, this is not a huge loss. But I feel if the pace of the PC, platforms, and the like were slowed by 25% it would feel as though the player had better control over their character. Second, I feel the weapon options are too plentiful as to be overwhelming. Throughout the course of the tutorial, you're given access to six different weapons, and told you can rotate between them at any time. Additionally, you can change the color of the particles you shoot, which will change the damage the particle deals to the enemy based on it's color. You're instructed on how to use them and some neat tricks you can do with them (like rocket jumping). Unfortunately, when given the option you'll likely only …

I received this product at PAX East 2017. I'm gonna drop a thumbs up as this game advertises itself as hard, and it sure lives up to it. Too hard for my liking, but the few levels I could complete were definitely rewarding. Nice game, I guess. :P
