Gameplay
editIt is an infinitely running game. The player controls a pixel who is falling down and has to avoid dangerous black pixels represented by various shapes. As he avoids these pixels, his own pixel is getting bigger by collecting white pixels. Furthermore, by brushing the shapes (falling next to them), ideally in a quick succession, player scores and the mega pixel bar is getting filled up. When its filled completely, pixel becomes the Mega Pixel and demolishes everything in his way. Player can score by smashing shapes too, but that also reduces his size.[4]
There are also coins that player has to catch. He can use them to buy some power-ups like pistols. Power-ups can also be bought for real money.[5]
