Pixel Hunter Reviews

This game is good! I coudnt figure out to shoot but i firgured it out. I like the bosses and the animals i like it how you lose some of your head when you get hurt to! But there's one more thing, why isn't there a option? There probaly is but i can't see it. But i like the game, Great detail and i like the charater! Just make sure you update it so you can use a option and maybe so you can change your charater and maybe you can customize it!

EDIT: They seem to have taken the base price down with more than a half. Still, paying two dollars for a game you get for free on your phone? Bitch please! It's good and all...but not original...enough...to be on Steam. Yes, I get it that you people wanted to share your iPhone/iPad app on Steam...but take money for something you can get for free on your phone? Seriously? Just for that it gets an 5/10. Graphics are okay. But now gameplay... Who the heck though moving right while spamming shift was "okay"? That takes it down to a 3. Each level is unoriginal and repetitive, not to say frustrating. Also, no offense, music was kind of bad. I got this for 90% off...still kinda overpriced even though it was less than an euro. 3.5/10 Would not reccomend. Could've tried better.

Tags: Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: No Xbox360 pad support. Same strech of background with the same trees reused constantly, character design for protag and foes dont make sense. You have to shoot blue balls at countryside animals that fire back at you with lasers. The voxel thing brings nothing to the table, the implementation of it is minimal art direction. Jumping is very bouncy and fast. Targeting with blue balls is not possible just shoot forward, making the use of jump+attack even more frustrating to perform. Very generic and uninspired. Removed for declutter

First things first, I noticed I picked this game up back in Sept 2014 (yeah, finally bothered to finish it Dec 2015) when it was $4.99. I got it for $0.99 due to a 80% discount and I see it's currently priced at $1.99. I wish I had gotten this for less than a dollar, honestly. So...the whole point of this little game is a hunter's guns are stolen by various, er, animals (?) and he wants to get them back. You start off with a single shot (semi-automatic? :P) gun that is fired by pressing the shift key. Like a few other reviews state, you need to turn off sticky keys or else you'll have, um, issues. The game itself is rather short overall as it has only 5 main levels. Each level/world has 3 stages to it and each stage has a couple checkpoints. Sounds straightforward right? Well, your "points" if you want to call it that are pieces of meat you collect while killing the various animals and 100 pieces of meat = 1 continue after you lose your 3 lives...and boy did I need them in some places. The first level (a forest) is waaay too simple as it's nothing but move right, spam shift, kill things, get meat, and get to the boss (after the 3 stages). From there you get a new gun (rapid fire by holding shift instead of spamming it). Each main area gets progressively more...involved I guess with a bunch of awkward platforming to deal with. I had more game overs (and time accumulated) that I was wanting because of some jumps were just really awkward to deal with. Oh, and before I forget on a game over you have 3 choices - continue (using 100 meat to restart at current checkpoint), restart (at the beginning of the current stage), or main menu (to start at the 1st stage of a different level). Yeah..you don't collect meat all that fast unless you bother to go back to a different level and farm meat (I didn't). I will say that I enjoyed the music in the game. The last level (a beach level) had music that REALLY reminded me of the ship theme from Final Fantasy 1 (NES heh). The music on the main menu was rather cute too so yeah, the music was good in this one. The voxel based graphics was an interesting take I will admit. I guess it has a certain charm to it instead of actual pixel platformers (decided pixel being in the title). A couple levels had a few...gimmicks towards the end of the last stage that were amusing to do once but annoying to have to do over and over and over...as they were right before the boss. -.-; With the frustration had in the game though, the ending was rather...unstatisfying. Oh well... So, if you like platformers (with guns) you MAY want to give it a try but ONLY if you can get it for less than a dollar (maybe 50 cents?). It had a few fun moments but going to have say NOT recommended unless you get it for cheap and just want to waste a bit of time with it.

This game revolutionized the series, It abandoned the older open-world sandbox and replaced it with, dare I say the greatest sidesrollers to date, BRAVO, a msut buy and trust me it is PHENOMONAL! The story transcends reality and makees you think as much as bioshock or Deus Ex.

let me just say that this game can be easily beat in one sitting, this game is not worth the full price of 5 dollars, i bought this game for 99 cents and in 30 minutes(maybe less) i was able to zoom through half this game in literally no time, if anything this game is fun if you like basic and easy platforming games and you love 3D pixel graphics. but i have to say the story of this game is friggin terrible, OH YOUR OUT HUNTING AND YOUR LIKE "DAMN I MISS MY GUNS" THEN YOU GO HOME TO FIND YOUR GUNS WERE STOLEN BY THE DUMBEST CAST OF FINAL BOSSES IVE EVER SEEN. i understand that this game was developed with someones own time and money and wants to be sold for 5 dollars but this game isnt even worth 99 cents, if anything i want my money back, or at least 50 cents back. my final rating for the game would be at least a decent 6/10, the game is meh.

I recommend this game but only just. I didn't expect much from it having only paid 49 cents for it but it went above and beyond my very low expectations. Pros: Playing on Fantastic The voxel graphics were fairly nice but in reality without any expectations they were pretty shoddy. Gameplay was not challenging at all but very casual with simple controls. Cons: Ridiculous checkpoints, Easy levels, Easy boss battles, Rubbish story. For the pricetag just buy it to make up your game collection. Its what I did and its pretty worth it.

This game has some serious issues and is not worth a single dollar! One, this game has no apparant autosave feature after each level to hold your progress. Another problem that is very annoying is the SHIFT key being used in this game to shoot. Requiring your pinky to access the shift while walking and jumping was a serious mistake on the developers part and leaves the player with a huge disadvantage! The levels can feel very repetitive as to each character being spammed in the world ever few feet from the character and it has no exact story line (Not saying all games have one or need one but this one sure could have had a storyline to make it better)! You could say this game is very choppy and the enemy mob variety is very scarce. The game is very short and honestly needs retouched. This game can leave you raging because you can't make any progress and it very stubby with the key. To add, it needs an options menu to bind shooting with a better key.

Pixel Hunter is a 2d platforming game with combat and thats about it. The game is short whilst challenging to a level of rage where you think to yourself, "Is this game really worth it?", the physics are odd and camera tends to be lacking. overall I could not recommend this game for more than $0.

Not worth bothering with. I thought this was an asset flip. The levels are tedious and the movement awkward. I finally got to a section where you had to climb before spikes hit you and I decided to play for a bit longer. However, after fighting a "boss" and getting a new weapon, I notice new problems. The gun seems to fire a half-second after you press the button, making precision shots -which are necessary - extremely difficult. After fumbling thru the next level, I just gave up. AFAIK, you can't rebind the keys and SHIFT and SPACE for fire/jump is awkward. I will give it some PROS: it has novel voxel art and a nifty health mechanic where you lose parts of yourself and can regain them (hat, hair). I appreciate the mechanic of meat pickups being your currency to continue. I wish there were clearly marked checkpoints though.
