About the Game

One grid. One plan. One way out.

Pixel: The Challenge is a 3D puzzle game in the spirit of the great tile-based logic classics — completely re-built. On every level you collect all the Pixels, find the right keys, and cross water, ice, conveyor belts and monsters until the Plenum portal opens.

The logic is grid-clear and deterministic, just like the classics — but the world is real 3D with smooth animation. Best of all: every one of the 80 levels is provably solvable. A solver works out each solution in advance and stores a replay. No level is down to luck, none is unfair.

Why you'll love it

  • 80 hand-crafted levels across 8 worlds — every one guaranteed solvable.
  • Classic logic, real 3D — plan it, solve it, execute it cleanly.
  • Two art styles — switch between Voxel (chunky and bright) and Low-Poly (soft and modern) at any time.
  • Three cameras — third-person, first-person or top-down.
  • Fair for everyone — chase 3 stars as a pro, or switch on Casual mode with no time pressure, plus a "watch the solution" helper.
  • Clean — no ads, no tracking.

What stands in your way

Keys & doors · water · fire · slippery ice · conveyor belts · bombs · teleporters · cloning machines · switches & buttons — and all sorts of monsters that move on their own.

Try it free

Play the first 20 levels free in the demo — download it right here on the Steam page. If the puzzle bug bites, the full game with all 80 levels is waiting.

Already in the works

After launch, Pixel: The Challenge keeps growing: a premium level pack with fiendish master puzzles and a level editor to build and share your own levels — both planned as a separate add-on (DLC). Add the game to your wishlist so you don't miss it.
