Pixel Galaxy Heading to Steam this Friday

Pixel Galaxy Heading to Steam this Friday

Developer Serenity Forge out of Boulder, Colorado, has announced that Pixel Galaxy will be heading to Steam this Friday, October 2, 2015.

In non-shooting shoot ’em up Pixel Galaxy, you are a single white pixel who can absorb the bodies, abilities, and weapons of every enemy pixel you collect. It’s up to you to stay either a small and nimble ship, or turn large and powerful. Just remember: protect your core white pixel, because every mistake could be your last.

History

This game started off as a project in Serenity Forge’s internal Summer game jam. When the developer showed it off to people at the Denver Comic-Con, they realized just how addictive this game really is. Afterwards, they decided to revamp the game and turn it into a full-featured experience. After reprogramming it and creating a design team to redesign enemy waves and bosses, Serenity Force is on their way to finish the game and to port it to as many consoles as possible.

Features

  • Six difficulty modes, from “easiest” to “normalest”. Don’t let the names fool you.
  • Enemy pixels that all have individual characteristics- some are much better for offence than defense, and vice versa. Your worst enemy can become your most powerful weapon in a split second.
  • Randomized waves upon waves of enemies that all move in unique patterns. No two playthroughs are the same, making the game length near-infinite.
  • Bosses with a variety of special attacks and movement patterns. They’ll all be intimidating at first, but they ALL have weaknesses.

Here is the launch trailer:
