Here are a couple of very interesting pixel games. Pixel games are to give you a retro-nostalgic feeling. Click on the links to play.

Color Theory
Brilliant pixel platform game. You need to find your way through this, well, sort-of maze and get to some wormhole thing. The funny thing is, when you touch colored items in a level, the platforms change. Some platforms disappear and others appear, changing the rule of game.

Jump on that red plus-sign to get rid of the red platforms

Pixel
A very good chain-reaction clone. You pick your own avatar and then you shoot enemies. These enemies explode pixels, which can kill other enemies. The fun with this game is that it has continues play. Most chain-reaction clones give you one shot and you must kill a percentage of all enemies. In this game you keep on shooting. The level-transformation is smooth. While you are aware of the next level, the playing is hardly interrupted.

I played the footstep symbol in the center-right, dodging enemies and collecting pixels

Different colors, different enemies and a great mess of pixels to look at

One Button Bob

For your authentic retro-game feeling. It even has a C64 load screen! I’m not sure whether this game is for real, or it is a parody on the discussion that games should be even easier to control. You control the character with the left mouse-button only. In each level, clicking the button has a different function. In one level it the button is to throw a boomerang against a bat. In another level the button stops the player from walking, so that you can avoid a falling spear from the ceiling. Parody or not, this is a very creative game.

In this level, you need to press the button to start walking

Space Dexterity
This is one of those gravity games, with its own style and graphics. Although I do like the graphics, something is lacking the game. First, it does not count down for the lives you’ve lost, it counts up the times you died. Now beating the game with at least deaths can be challenging to some. The game is also not fair. Many times when you enter a level, you die immediately, because your spaceship is moving in the wrong direction. To make matters worse, between dying and starting over the level, you do not have time to pull yours fingers of the keyboard, so you’re thrust easily against the border of the screen or some spacerock. Besides that, the game is somewhat fun to play.

I keep bouncing into those rocks, but it doesn’t matter…

Llama rescue
Fun Gianan Sisters or Mario Bros clone. You are a yellow blob and you can kill green blobs by jumping on them. However if you touch a green blob, you lose a life. If you’ve missed the life counter, then you don’t know you have died. You start a level with three lives and if you lose all, you restart the level with three lives again. Well, that is just plain unlimited lives. You can also kill green blobs by riding a Llama, which appear if you jump against boxes with a question mark. Okay, not perfect, but still fun to play.

Moving platforms help you through the maze

Zombie Outbreak
Well, no unlimited lives here. But sure good game to mention. It has difficult controls, but the graphics are great. And what is better to spend some time on killing zombies if you have some spare time right?

Very dark game, but great graphics
