About the Game


Pixboy, a mad scientist, finally found a recipe for an ultimate potion. However, malicious dogs destroyed his dreams. Time for revenge!
Feel the retro vibes, travel back to the past, enjoy chunky pixels and chiptune music!

Be agile!
Run, jump, soar and avoid deadly obstacles. Don't give up! You will succeed... eventually.



Leave no one behind!
Defeat enemies using your super-duper-powerful slingshot. Out of ammo? Jump on foes' heads to defeat them and to get extra bullet!

(If you feel like a pacifist, spare all the enemies on level and get a special Pacifist Badge! But beware: won't be easy!)


Seek for secrets!
Find 'Em all! It's a piece of cake, really...
Only 150 secret rooms. Good luck :)
Small hint: look for different patterns on walls



Meet strange creatures!
There are 30 of them.
So for now, meet the Fluffy. Fluffy is full of surprises, figuratively and literally.



Tease your mind!
Each jump - every mechanism rotates.
Plan your way ahead, cause jumping on spikes hurts like hell.



And now the numbers!
  • 4 unique worlds with different mechanics inside
  • 40 hand-crafted levels
  • 150+ secret rooms
  • 30 different enemies
  • 24 retro color palettes
  • 4 bosses
  • 4 challenges per level
  • a Pacifist Badge for sparing all enemies
