Life of Pixel Celebrates Platforming Across 10 Retro Consoles

Life of Pixel by Super Icon is a platforming wonderland of awesomeness. As a little green pixel named, what else, Pixel, you’ll travel through 80 levels across 10 different consoles filled with video game nostalgia.

Where some games like to say they are an authentic retro experience Life of Pixel takes it the extra mile actually using the limitations of each console to its advantage. However just because Life of Pixel might be limiting the color palette or resolution doesn’t mean Super Icon didn’t add some current generation fun like secret rooms, hidden areas, wacky items and even an extra console into the game.

Be sure to check out the trailer and then head on over to http://www.lifeofpixel.co.uk where you can pick up Life of Pixel for $6.99 on both PC and Mac. If you would rather play out your nostalgia on the go, Super Icon also has said that Life of Pixel is coming to iOS and Android soon.
