About

This game was created as an entry to GameJolt #LOWREZJAM in which competitors had to make a game with maximum resolution of 32x32 pixels. I decided to go with 40x24 up scaled to 800x480.

Game play is based on a game ClusterStorm created by globware which is a clone of an old PSP game Squarez.

You control a player (simply one pixel) using accelerometer in your phone and your goal is to pick up as many green-ish pixels as possible. Each time you pick up some, an enemy is spawned. Enemy is moving simply up/down or left/right at fixed position. If you collide with an enemy you lose 1 life.

Game modes

Pixel Storm has 2 game modes so far with more to come!

Arcade - In this mode player has 3 lives at the beginning to work with and every 4th or 5th pick up a charge is spawned. If player pick ups this charge he becomes larger and able to destroy enemies by crushing to them. The charge only lasts 4 seconds so you have to be quick with that. Item pick up is rated with 100 points and destroyed enemy with 25. Survival - In survival game mode there are no charges spawned and the player only has 1 life. Survival mode is therefore much more difficult. Item pick up is rated with 100 points.
