Get ready for an experience so revolutionary you won't believe what you just played.
A game setup in a way that no one had dared to even try until now. And you get to enjoy it. Here. Now.

"This game changed my view on what a game is" -kno1said

Go on an epic journey, battling your way through hordes of enemies, while searching for answers. Collect hundreds of items to further your quest and improve your skills in combat, or to allow you to crack open valuable locked chests.

"Such an amazing experience, I couldn't pull myself away from getting the next treasure or kill." -moomoo112

Set up in a simplistic way to allow you to get right into the action. Simply move around with the Arrow keys and interact with the Space-bar. And in the event that something goes wrong and you want to get out, a help file is provided.

"Such simplistic controls for a deeply involved game" -Seil Erup

Joined together in this package is a set of graphics so grand in scale, they help derive the name of the game itself. Playable on any screen, from the old 800x600 screens to the large 1080p and greater without a single loss of detail or any ill-fated pixelation.

"A wonderful masterpiece, I couldn't believe it was made in 48 hours!" -anonymous

Journey on your quest, and defeat the evil that is infesting your world today!

The font looks nice but I can't really rate a game that highly that is just one pixel and seems to have zero gameplay.

One pixel .. ha! Couldn't move much and the interaction was a non-interaction .. sounded like shooting though..

Its a bit tricky at first, hopefully the help file I put together can offer some guidance to get into the game better.

Ha ha, very good. I got 77 kills before I felt bored, but it was worth it. :)

Fun concept, didn't actually understand what I was doing at first until I noticed the pixel turning colors, but definitly very different!

took me awhile to realize spacebar was action i ran around the whole game thinking i was gaining levels and that action was like a roguelike and i just had to bump into things :/ once i figured out spacebar it was a blast. great use of theme.

I seem unable to die. I'd go as far as to say that this game would be perfectly executed if only there were more variation in gameplay. Then again, I can understand working under the limitations of one pixel. Thanks for that outside-of-box experience!

Fantastic and extremely creative! I imagined how my pixel was a lone warrior inside a cave filled with monsters jajaja Awesome work ;)

Clever. Perhaps at least an 8x8 pixel? :)

Now he overdid it with, you only get one. Literally, one pixel. To be honest dude, there's not much for any type of ratings specifically, except the theme because you overdid that. Oh well, good luck next time . :D

Very nice entry. Everything is great and nice : menu, sounds, graphics, etc. Just put one simple game mecanic and it's a perfect entry.

It's too minimalistic and too unique simultaneously. Nice experience, but it's not really game imo :-)
