Pixel Escape is a charming retro platformer by Pixel Masters. Coming soon to browsers, iOS and Android, it has the tag line “saving the world one pixel at a time.”
Pixel Escape started life at LeedsHack, going from idea to playable game in 24 hours. The game combines running, jumping and platform-drawing with a retro aesthetic that evokes the likes of Bit.Trip Runner and Kirby’s Canvas Curse. It’s a challenging experience, but crucially has that ‘one more go’ factor that should ensure it finds a devoted audience. We spoke to Pixel Escape’s creators, Eugene Griskov and Johnny Blackburn, about the process of developing a 24 hour hack into a full game.
