Overview: A Pixel Story is at its heart a game developed by a team of graduates who love games. Inspired by platformers and puzzle games old and new, A Pixel Story sees players trying to journey to the core of a giant computer system to save the world, making use of the games core mechanic, a unique magical hat that allows the player to place it in any location and teleport back to it, with new layers being added on to increase the complexity throughout the experience. Players must use their witt and skill to overcome the range of challenges put in front of them if they are to reach the core of “The System” and save the world.
