Mmmkay. -Power ups are the new rage this season, they’re being bought up by the merchant for 50% more -Power up refills have had their cost reduced. -Death message has been slightly adjusted -The cost of power ups at the store have been reduced, completely going against the fictional demand I mentioned up above. -All mobs have have their XP rewards tinkered with. -Player deaths should now happen correctly and more prettier. -Boss act 1 has had its collisions fixed. -We have combed nearly every inch of the dungeon and adjusted many collisions to make sure you’re not losing your treasure on top or behind most objects. -ShieldSpin is now producing the proper sound effects. -ShieldSpin should never use ammo anywhere other than the dungeon (we’re watching this) -IceWeb should now properly be affected by ShieldSpin If errors you have already reported are not in this list, it does not mean we’re ignoring you, we are looking at everything that is sent to us, it can just take some time.

Help Pixel Boy on his arduous journey to become the Hero of Resolutia and this year’s Dungeon Runner’s World Champion!



Pixel Boy is a dungeon crawling top down Action Shooter. You control Pixel Boy and enter the randomly generated dungeons below the town of Resolutia. There are four acts in total, each with a powerful boss at their climax. Every dungeon is filled to the brim with aggressive and deadly enemies. As Pixel Boy you will encounter swarms of giant ants, packs of snapping dogs and even lethal dungeon birds. To help Pixel Boy bear this burden there are many tools at your disposal. Various pixel powerups can be found or purchased to help Pixel Boy overcome the treacherous dungeons beneath Resolutia.

Spreadshot, Shields, Splitshot, Heat seekers, Critical Strike Modifiers, Time Stoppers and much more are available. Three pixel powers can be equipped at a time and are stackable AND combinable so that Pixel Boy can find the best combination of over 6000 powers to defeat his adversaries most efficiently.

Various types and tiers of armours can be crafted by obtaining the appropriate armour orbs dropped within the dungeons depths. Each piece of armour has different effects, abilities and levels of power dependent on its tier and orbs used to create it.

Throughout the dungeon Pixel Boy may encounter a variety of randomly generated unique rooms. Make sure Pixel Boy pockets any keys he finds, as treasure rooms have chests that are always locked to protect their secrets. Be wary every time Pixel Boy moves from room to room, as simply entering a room could trigger a dangerous trap; locking him in the room until every monster has been defeated within. Pixel Boy should also pay close attention to torches as they could lead the way to secrets and treasures. Collect all the coins Pixel Boy finds and spend them on items, powerups and armour at the shops back in town.
