Can't believe I'm just finding out about this game. I found this from a reference from Pix N' love Rush for the iPhone. I'm definitely buying this. This looks like pure platforming heaven. I'll mention this to some of my other friends who appreciate good pure platforming and awesome retro style. Though I wish the retro games had the animation level of this title. It's almost like the animation comes from a different technology era than the graphics.
Pixel is an extremely classy game. The play control is flawless, and the art style and sense of humor is superb. Anyone that grew up playing an NES is likely to become a little misty-eyed while playing it.

I actually downloaded the demo of this today and it has some sharp SNES like controls and some cute graphics. Are there other indie games better than this? I have 300 xbl points i can spend and only indie games are in that range
And you should get a several hours of enjoyment out of it when you first get it. First stage can be completed in a matter of a few minutes, but later stages get progressively longer than the last. A few more hours go in as you try to find the hidden relics. It's an indie game so don't expect much, although it offers a lot more than the average indie game... or arcade game for that matter.
Purchased the game a few days ago after being bored one night and downloaded several indie trial games. This one really stood out to me. I'm disappointed though, Arkedo hasn't produced anymore games.
None of the Arkedo Series should be on "Indie" section of XBLA games because every single one of them are more fun to play than most "mainstream" Arcade games yet if not pure coincidence i wouldnt even know about those games cuz looking for a good game in Indie section is like looking for a gold coin in tub full of horse shit.
I don't mean any offense, we're all free to have our own opinion, but I'd much rather look at something this pleasing and amazingly animated than watch realistic-looking people with guns blow each other's heads off any day!!!
@sloobro If i wanted to play a game with sucky graphics I would of got a gameboy, but no I didnt waste 300$ to play some game with shitty ass graphics, NOOB!
@Grindmen25 First of all...you didn't pay $300 for your 360...your mommy and daddy did. Secondly, the graphics in this game are good. Just because something isn't in 3D and only has various shades of grey and brown doesn't make it have bad graphics. I know you think you have to like Gears of War because you think it's the "cool" and "manly" thing to do. But you just look like a tool.
@Grindmen25 think about it you morron, where graphics evolved, from pixels to vectors and models, polygons, triangles, and other stuff, next time, take a shotgun and blow up your head, its going to make you happy.
@Grindmen25 You're an idiot and you're a perfect example of why the gaming industry is in the shape that it's in. Putting graphics above fun is the mistake that has lead the industry into shorter games with no depth or re-playability.
Oh, and sweet proportions on the characters in Gears of War, bro.
Yeah, I'm liking this game :) It's got nice music, nice really stylized graphics and excellent animation. It has no difficult parts up to the point I've played in it so far, and I think it will end up being a fairly short game, but still I like the game a lot.
