Description

Pixel Story is a 2D puzzle platformer primarily developed for PC, the concept behind the game is a look at the development of video games throughout time. The main character begins his life as the ball in a game of pong, but when an error occurs and the computer upgrades he is forced into a new world of vibrant colour and monophonic sound.

Upon discovery of this computational error the computer attempts to delete him, and the the player must begin a adventure of survival, delving deeper and deeper into the computer as it continues to develop through the ages of 16-bit and true colour video games.

Using the primary mechanic of saving a location to return to at any time, the player must advance through areas of puzzles of increasing difficulty and supplementary mechanics to avoid deletion and grow powerful enough to no longer be held down by the strictures of their digital world.
