Our take on Pixel Speedrun
Instead of building around exploration, combat, or a linear platforming journey, the game treats each level as a time-improvement exercise. The personal-best graphs make self-comparison the central structure, turning repetition and incremental gains into the main form of progression.
What is Pixel Speedrun?
Pixel Speedrun is a platformer built around improving completion times.
Control a pixel through difficult levels, avoid obstacles, and review each attempt against a personal best. The game includes multiple levels, additional obstacles, a timer, and an end-of-run statistics screen with graphs. These graphs provide a direct comparison between the latest run and the recorded personal best. Its structure centers on repeated attempts and time improvement rather than a story campaign or combat system.
