Which is where one of the more unique aspects kicks in. As stated before, the enemies range far and wide, as do the backgrounds and artistry. But more importantly, how to make chains to eliminate large groups of the enemy changes from level to level. Not one is even close to the one before or after.

If you start asking how airplanes made it into this game, you are down a never-ending path towards insanity. Ahh, art.

Collecting those pixels is more of a dilemma. Since they are the same size as your pixel, which is amazingly small compared to everything else, getting them is hard. A system in place makes the point pixels attracted to you when nearby, but even then they fade away too quickly to collect a full screen of them.

This may look hectic, but remember; half those enemies aren't shooting...yet.

What was most troubling, however, was the 8-bit feel, mainly with controls. Movement was slow, though faster when not shooting. Certain levels had a mishap where firing and moving meant that the projectiles emitted from the player-pixel disappeared randomly. Worst of all was the very low tech eight-way-directional fire.

Sure, it means that the face buttons can be used instead of the right analog stick. Sure, in the notes creator Jonathan Mak states it’s easier to do that. Not the point at all. In this day and age, art, honest to goodness art, is a rarity. But there is no reason to sacrifice modern technology and dumb down the controls so that enemies positioned between the 45 degree angles are invulnerable to attack.
