Our take on McPixel

Every challenge is compressed into a 20-second attempt, making rapid tool selection and trial-and-error the defining structure of the experience.

What is McPixel?

McPixel is a point-and-click game with 100 short challenges.

In each challenge, the goal is to prevent something from blowing up by using the available tools. The time limit is 20 seconds, making quick decisions central to every attempt. The game includes bonuses, secrets, free downloadable content, 185 BMP music tracks, switchable pixel filters, and a level creator. It also lists McPixel Fart Along and McPixel Social among its features. The presentation uses large pixel-based visuals, while the creator provides a way to make additional levels. Each challenge follows the same basic structure: identify what can be used, act before the timer expires, and try to save the day.
