Pac Man and Snake had an offspring and its various faces are in the many game modes of Pix the Cat! Are you in the mood for: a nervous rush? paced brain-tickling? mellow strolling? or competitive boasting? Name it! PIX has it. QUACK QUACK! The CAT's BACK!!!
Pix the Cat is an intense arcade game that will challenge your reflexes and your wits, pitting you against your friends and the world in a race to the highest score!
Pix the Cat offers 4 game modes that mix and match delights from good ol’ games as Pac-Man, Snake and Bomberman!
THE ARCADE
This is the game’s core! Its neon-disco look & feel will tease your optical taste buds. In a frantic race against the clock, rack up massive points to make the leaderboards! Each move is critical to skyrocket to the top of the ladder. So keep your reflexes razor-sharp and your eyes peeled to find the best way to perform PERFECTS in the levels as they come at you full throttle! Compete against the ghost of your best run, your friends’ best runs or even the devs’ to learn from their routes and gain valuable seconds along with boasting rights! Let alone becoming a Scoreboard Sensei and teach others how to master the game!
Your goal is to rescue forsaken ducklings from nested levels of the infamous GRID of INFINITY. To do so, you will make your way through flashy digital levels, pulsing to a galvanizing groove that won’t fail to make your heart skip a beat! Perfect your skills to SPEED and COMBO UP until you reach the explosive FEVER TIME! Go as deep as you can into the levels within the levels within the levels…
Unlock the THREE other GRIDS and their 500+ hand-made levels! And the pixilicious VOICE PACKS: Doctor DOOM, Mr FROG, Lady BOT… who are ready to bark at or butter you up throughout your endeavours! At the heart of the game, the Arcade Mode is where you will unlock the other game modes and many more surprising surprises!
THE NOSTALGIA
The Nostalgia Mode plays like Snake but with a few twists. Collect the target number of ducklings to win. Make the best use of your environment to perfect each level and DO NOT run into a wall, get stuck inside your tail or collide with a baddie, or it’s Game Over!
An old fashioned je-ne-sais-quoi gives this blast from the past a vibrant vibe. With art that feels dug up from the golden era of black and white, experience an adventure oozing with surprises! Each of the 70 levels offers a new skill challenge and yet another blister under your thumb! Be swift to stop the crazy-eyed goat from chomping the Bonus Flower. Got retro?
This mode brings a variety of thrills and pleasures that blend into an old-fashioned adventure. Some levels last a couple of seconds and only require a few moves. Some are about being consistent in collecting a ton of ducklings in your tail without crashing. Others are tiny ant-farms in which you need to collect just a few eggs but getting there is the tough part! And of course many more which I’ll leave for you to discover…
THE LABORATORY
This game mode presents yet another atmosphere. Its mellow puzzles are a breath of microscopic fresh air and a big change of pace. Under the magnifying glass, fire up your brain cells to complete 100 experiments with no time limit. Your results are measured by your number of moves. Keep them minimal while dodging dangers to collect the bonus stamp!
In here, Pix will slide until stopped by a wall or his own tail. You can then slide again and go on. You must collect each and every cell before dropping them off or it’s game over! Some puzzles are more than a handful and might instantly cause brain freeze if you don’t plan carefully ahead!
THE ARENA
Rule over the Arena by jousting against your friends in this local battle mode hosting up to four PixBots! With two players facing off on the same keyboard, connect additional controllers and blow your enemies to smithereens in epic battles.
Collect ammo-eggs to use as missiles, to lay mines or to stun your enemies. Fallen foes will transform into ghosts that pursue survivors tirelessly. If a ghost smashes into a Pixbot, it will steal its life force and blast back into battle with a vengeance. This time, it’s personal…
There are many winning strategies to be crowned Champion! Adapt to your opponents to best them or blow up trying! Each of the Seven Arenas offers a different environment and urges you to change your habits to become the last PixBot standing!
Pix the Cat has many faces that combine into an oddball game that looks just like us here at Pastagames!
See you soon in the Grid of Infinity!
🌍️ Wikipedia:
Pix the Cat is an independent video game designed and developed by Pastagames for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, Linux, PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Switch. The game stars the cat Pix as he saves ducklings in a maze-like environment.
Gameplay
Pix the Cat is a mash-up of Snake and Pac-Man. Some levels are fast paced, where Pix must constantly collect ducklings without crashing its growing tail into an obstacle. Other levels only require a few items to be collected, but require more strategy.
Development
French developer Pastagames had worked with publishers for Rayman Jungle Run, Pix’n Love Rush and A.R. Rescue, but the team opted to release Pix the Cat independently. The game was in development for over three years.
It was announced for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in August, 2014. Fabien Delpiano explained the team's goal to create a game where "sensations grow and intensify as your skill improves." Delpiano described the team's playtesting method for Pix, using a custom-built arcade cabinet in various locations including bars and game conventions. The game was released in October 2014.
Reception
(...)
Un jeu d'arcade en solo ou en multi (jusqu'à 4) avec 4 modes de jeux, par le studio Pastagames (édité par Focus Home Interactive).
Pix the Cat est un jeu d'arcade mixant Snake, Pacman & Bomberman, en solo ou en multi (jusqu'à 4) avec 4 modes de jeux, mettant en scène Pix le chat, collectant des œufs pour faire éclore les p’tits canards et les emmener en file indienne jusqu’aux p’tits trous du niveau, sans heurter ni les murs, ni les canards.
Il est défini par le studio comme un jeu fractal : dans chacun de ses niveaux se cache un autre niveau, lui-même renvoyant à un autre niveau, etc... Donc une suite de niveaux inclus les uns dans les autres. Le lien entre ces niveaux est un petit chat qui bute dans un œuf, de cet œuf sort un canard qui le suit, s'en suit d'autres œufs et une longue file de canards. Le niveau finissant par devenir trop petit pour tous ces canards, toute l'équipe va s'enfoncer dans un niveau fractal, et le joueur va finir par se retrouver avec une énorme queue dans tout un tas de niveaux inclus les uns dans les autres en essayant de s'échapper et en essayant de déposer ses canards sur des téléporteurs pour qu'ils rentrent chez eux.
Au final on abouti à un jeu qui est un mélange de Pacman et de Snake, avec des petits accents de Juju Rocket, le tout dans un niveau qui zoom à l'infini. Dans ce mode (4 modes au total), on a 5 minutes pour essayer de faire le maximum de points et d'aller le plus loin possible en profondeur et en score.
Steam :
« Dans Pix the Cat, vous jouez Pix, le seul chat qui joue à un jeu dont il est le héros ! De niveau en niveau, vous collectez des oeufs pour faire éclore les p’tits canards et les emmener en file indienne jusqu’aux p’tits trous du niveau. Sans heurter ni les murs, ni vos canards. Vous avez tout suivi ? »
Développé par le studio français Pastagames à qui l’on doit l’excellent Rayman Jungle Run, Pix the Cat est un jeu d’arcade intense et addictif qui mettra vos réflexes et votre cerveau à rude épreuve si vous voulez dominer vos amis et les meilleurs joueurs en inscrivant le meilleur score dans le classement mondial !
Dans le mode Arcade, parcourez des niveaux hyper-colorés et flashy, et laissez-vous emporter par une musique très typée arcade aux sons électro, qui fera faire des montagnes russes à votre encéphalogramme. Comme sorti d’un vieux grenier, le mode Nostalgia en noir et blanc vous fera vivre une aventure pleine de surprises! Une multitude de niveaux vous attend et mettra à rude épreuve votre dextérité! Dans le mode Laboratory, vous devrez compléter chaque niveau en un minimum de coups… en évitant les pièges !
Enfin, défiez vos amis sur le même PC jusqu’à 4 joueurs !
