Those that have played Pixel: ru², and those that have not. Ha, ha, ha...
Anyway, 10 is a special number in our latest update, and here's why.
10 New Levels
We completely overhauled the tutorial and expanded it from the four old levels to ten new ones. Some elements of the old levels made it into the new levels, but the majority is new and improved and designed to help you get the hang of the mechanics better as well as just being a lot more fun and engaging. With new levels comes new music and new backstory. Give them a try and tell us what you think!
All ten of these levels will also be available in the demo.
10 New Achievements
Pixel now has Steam Achievements. We plan on adding more over time, but added ten now to get you started.
Here are a few of them:
- 10 100 1: Kill two enemies with a single Rocket.
- Firewall: Set an enemy on fire through a barrier using the Burn weapon.
- Hax: Jump or flip off of an enemy projectile.
- Hotfix: Change the color of a projectile while in flight so that it will now damage an enemy.
- PTMP: Hit three enemies at the same time with the Spray weapon.
10 Other Improvements
- Optimized performance throughout the game, still some issues (especially with the fire mechanics), but we're working on fixing those too.
- Added a hints system to help out stuck players.
- Added tips that will display between levels.
- Fixed memory issue that caused game to crash for some people when loading a new level; mainly Windows 10 users, oh look, another 10.
- Score is now displayed at the end of each level and the image information has been moved to another part of the screen.
- Improved some old levels, making certain parts less frustrating – the box in Syntax Error is now bigger!
- Beefed up a few weapons, but also made certain enemies stronger and others weaker.
- Fixed issues related to resetting levels.
- Added the ability to shoot with the arrow keys, and the ability to mix color bindings – press the red and blue buttons on an Xbox controller to select magenta.
- Secrets... shh...
Don't be a zero, be a one and play Pixel.
