About Agent Pyxel
Agent Pyxel is a pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play a secret agent sent to stop a scientist. His weapon of mass destruction is a bomb that makes everyone endlessly hungry. The plan is ridiculous, and the game knows it.
It was a Metroidvania game jam entry, so it's small and has a clear idea instead of a sprawling map. The look is retro, the action mixes platforming, shooting and stealth, and a whole run takes about half an hour.
One warning: the game has bugs. The worst is that the agent sometimes does not come back after dying and the screen stays black. The game saves each time you enter a level, so you can reload and pick Continue. You can play Agent Pyxel online here with nothing to install, and Agent Pyxel free of charge fits a game this size.
How to Play Agent Pyxel
- Read the in-game instructions and tips before you start. The game plays best that way.
- Click inside the game window first, then use the keyboard. The in-game menu shows the exact keys.
- Work through each level toward the scientist, sneaking where you can and shooting where you must.
- The game saves as you enter a level, so you can quit and come back to that point.
- If the screen goes black after you die, reload the game and choose Continue from the menu.
What to Expect in Agent Pyxel
The story is a joke with a straight face. Your target is building a hunger bomb, you're the only agent who can stop him, and nobody pretends otherwise. The pixel art and retro look keep it light, even when you're sneaking past danger.
It's rough around the edges, and that's part of the deal with a jam game. The upside is the size. Half an hour, a save at every level, and a restart that costs almost nothing means a bug never ruins your evening. If you like short platformers with a bit of stealth, it's an easy sit-down.
Tips for Agent Pyxel
- Read the instructions and tips first, since the game asks you to.
- Go slowly. Stealth is part of the design, and rushing in rarely pays off.
- Remember that saves happen when a level starts, not midway, so a death can cost you a level's progress.
- If the respawn bug hits, reload and choose Continue rather than starting over.
- Plan for a short game. It's a jam project about half an hour long, not a campaign.
