Casual Gameplay writes: "Nitrome continues its relationship with MTV Arcade with their latest, Pixel Pop. It's like a rhythm-based Wario Ware, in which you play colorful mini-game levels with a musical timing element. Destroy attacking fighters and tanks as Godzilla! Stake vampires as they rise in their coffins! Um...eat...stuff. It's all here, with three difficulty levels across four distinct stages, a different song in each level, and a final "mix-tape" stage that surreally switches context between the stages over the course of the song."
GameZebo: "There's nothing quite like helping a giant flamboyantly-colored robot destroy watermelons and apples by guiding his arm download in a chopping motion - all in time to the beat of the music that plays in the background. That's just the start of the fun with Nitrome's Pixel Pop, whose ten levels all serve up a different quirky scenario to wrap your head around.
Pixel Pop is essentially a music, or 'rhythm action' game (think Rock Band or Guitar Hero), but instead of simply having to click colored capsules in time to the beat, the game's developers have come up with all sorts of far more creative excuses for doing so."
