Lethal pixels, impossible platforms, and retro nods!
Joe and the Lost Pixels is a brutal 2.5D platformer where you'll die more times than in your worst '80s nightmares.
Every level is a trap. Every pixel, a threat.
Do you dare?
Joe and the Lost Pixels is a playable tribute to the greatest classics of the 80s, full of nods to a golden era where every jump could be your last and every level hides dangers behind each pixel. Here, every screen is a trap waiting to be discovered.
You play as Joe, a brave (and slightly clumsy) adventurer in search of the mythical lost pixels, which hold the power to restore a world corrupted by digital oblivion. But it won’t be easy: snakes, spikes, vanishing platforms, sea creatures, secret labyrinths, and much more await you.
Don’t worry too much—sometimes you’ll be lucky enough to find a weapon or two to defend yourself... just don’t get too confident.
And of course, Joe has a classic mission: to rescue the usual princess. You know how this goes...
Features:
Classic platforming with modern physics and 3D graphics in a 2.5D perspective
Varied levels: jungles, temples, underwater caves, pixelated fortresses...
Light puzzles and old-school skill-based challenges
Full controller and keyboard support
Instant death and quick restarts—just like the good old days
Do you have what it takes to save the world from forgotten pixels?
