Subpixel

What is the fun in playing another ordinary platformer game?

Subpixel is a game where you not only jump over obstacles and make tight jumps, but you will also solve puzzles and explore the stages.

The game itself needs your help!

The game is corrupted and needs to be fixed! Luckily, with your fourth-wall-breaking skills, you can make that happen. As you explore, you'll find lost pixels scattered around. Collect them to revert the corruptions! The game will help you in return.

Flip the universe backwards!

There is a way to flip the universe backwards, which can make things change depending on the level. There are parts in each level that cannot be accessed in one universe, but can when you switch to the other.

There's always something new.

Every level you play will introduce a new gameplay element. It starts off simple, but as each level gets more and more new stuff, it can become intense.

Controls:

• A and D to move
• W or SPACE to jump (hold to increase jump height)
• ENTER to interact with notes and other tiles
• E to kick your enemies
• P or END to go back to the main menu
