Great soundtrack. Great graphics. Great gameplay Is the game difficult? Yes, but what made me love him is the great variety he has in everything: guns items zombies etc. and its detailed scenery and incredible atmosphere that manages to leave a lot of tension The only annoying thing about it is that its multiplayer isn't online. But dead pixels 2, which is still in development, promises online multiplayer and I eagerly await this sequel I liked much this game and recommend you play it.

Side-scrolling shootem up with some fun names/references, costumed clerks (occasionally), and a fun way to spend a few hours. Easily worth the $3.00. I recommend an XBOX 360 controller for easier controls.

Dead Pixels is a fantastic blast from the past, delivering a unique and exhilarating retro experience that fans of old-school arcade games will love! With its pixelated visuals and fast-paced gameplay, it captures the essence of classic arcade shooters while adding its own modern twists. The game’s blend of rogue-like elements and relentless action keeps you on your toes, as you battle through waves of zombies in a post-apocalyptic world. What sets Dead Pixels apart is its smooth progression and difficulty scaling, which ensures that you’re always challenged but never overwhelmed. The variety of weapons, power-ups, and upgrades gives each run a fresh feeling, making every session more exciting than the last. The soundtrack is also a standout, adding to the adrenaline-pumping atmosphere as you fight for survival. Overall, Dead Pixels is an engaging, fun, and satisfying game that perfectly captures the spirit of retro gaming while offering something new. Whether you’re a fan of classic arcade games or just looking for a fun, challenging experience, Dead Pixels delivers it all with style! Highly recommend it for anyone who loves a great challenge with a nostalgic feel.

One of thos fun little games that can keep you busy for a day. Its fun to lear the mechanics little by little, looting goods, learning how to upgrade your arsenal and make your way throught the hordes of zombies. Good little fun to be fun, althought you can 100% it before you know it.
