This game was released on PlayStation Mobile a few months ago. It's really a lot of fun, and can be a bit challenging. The Kickstarter is to bring it to additional platforms as well as adding more content:
We have already developed and self-published a PlayStation® Mobile release of Life of Pixel. Reviews have been really positive (see Reviews section below) and user feedback has been brilliant (check out our Twitter feed).
While PlayStation® Mobile was a great platform to work on, unfortunately sales are very small as there just aren't many people buying games on there. We have also had a lot of requests for Pixel on other formats.
The money we have earned on Pixel so far for PlayStation® Mobile hasn't covered our original development costs. Without extra funding we simply can't afford to develop it any further as we are out of money.
We see Pixel as a long term project we would like to evolve and expand until we have covered as many retro game systems as we possibly can!
We would love to bring Pixel to a wider audience, but we need your help to do this!
In addition to porting Pixel to PC, Mac, iOS and Android we have several cool additions planned too. These include:
- Extra content - new machines and levels
- Audio - more fantastic chip music tracks and sound effects
- Interactive museum of retro gaming machines - find out more about the history of each of the machines featured in Pixel
- Leaderboards - featuring quickest time to complete each level with a ghost pixel replay feature
- Additional DLC - such as Pixel skin packs and new enemies
- Achievements - lots of rewards to earn and collect
We're building the game with Unity, so we need to get the required Unity licences and export modules for iOS and Android.
Why Do We Need Your Money?
We have a vision with Pixel - we want to make something special; a game that really celebrates 8-bit machines and the various differences between them and to support a wide range of game systems to play it on.
- Wages - to pay our wonderful team for their hard work (programming, music and art)
- Unity licences as mentioned above
- Development systems/test kits - we need Android test units, OUYA, Wii-U and PS3 development kits
- QA testing, plus general business & legal costs
Can't happen if it's on anything but a Nintendo platform, you might be able to get away with platforms by companies no longer around, but I mean...
