Description

pixelBOT EXTREME! is the EXTREME! multitasking RUN and GUN with a colorful twist. Combining elements of a multitasking auto-runner with flying- and side-scrolling action and a unique color-based destruction system, pixelBOT offers players an exciting, addicting nostalgia-filled 16-bit shooter.

History

Pixelbot Extreme! was brought to life by indie game studio PlayHeart Games and a bunch of friends. As an eight-years-experienced game and level designer Enrico Schmidt was working for several bigger studios. During that time, he had the chance to meet Konstantin Dimitrov – a very talented artist – who breathed life into Pixelbot and his pixelated world.

He also met Fabian Russ – a Leipzig-based passionate composer and sound designer – who was exactly the right person to create high-quality retro sound effects.

At a game developer meetup in Leipzig, Germany, Enrico met Konrad Kunze – a "truly inspiring game designer and developer from FusionPlay" as he said. They shared a passion for Arcade games and decided to work together on a PS4 Version. After co-developing some new features like couch co-op and difficulty selection, Pixelbot Extreme will finally release August 4, 2020 on PlayStation 4.
