Pixel Dash Reviews

It's a straightforward 2D platformer where you can compete in leaderboards for the best times, see ghosts of other players, and download their replays. I tried the demo a while back and thought it was okay, but today, I bought the full game and was pleasantly surprised by the variety and number of levels. The gameplay is pretty challenging, with precise combos of jumps and dashes, plus features like grabbing and throwing boxes to activate switches. It has manual checkpoints to avoid restarting the whole level if you die, though the clock keeps ticking. Graphics aren't great and look more like a prototype, but if you can get past that, it's a satisfying and smooth game, also there is a demo that weighs almost nothing, a good option if you have doubts.

Speedrun focused platformer, one that reminds me a lot of the old days of flash games. It looks simple (way too simple) but the later levels start introducing different mechanics that makes it interesting and challenging. There's also movement tech with the dash and jump, adding to the complexity, and is really fast to retry the levels. It does feel kind of slippery, you don't know which way the cube is facing when not moving and some inputs either don't register or are not precise. Even so, it's enjoyable, a pretty okayish experience. Esp: Un plataformero centrado en speedruns que me recuerda mucho a los viejos tiempos de los juegos flash. Parece simple (demasiado simple diría), pero los niveles mas avanzados introducen mecánicas diferentes que lo hacen interesante y desafiante. También hay técnicas de movimiento con el dash y el salto, lo que añade complejidad, y es realmente rápido reintentar los niveles. Se siente un poco resbaladizo, no sabes hacia dónde mira el cubo cuando no te mueves y algunas acciones no se registran o no son precisas. Aun así, es entretenido, una experiencia bastante aceptable del género.
