This game needs like a grace time between hits because once you get hit by the enemy that homes in on you you are dead unless you can get away in under 5 seconds. Also the well jumping is lacking.
"Pixelotl is a laid-back 2D puzzle-platformer" I don't think this guy knows what laid-back is. Getting stuck behind the balls trying to get enough speed to make a jump sure is fun....
I shall make a story for it :D
You crash into a small village in Germany. You are found by a little girl who takes you in. You live a peaceful life untill the holocaust starts. Then the Nazis came and tried to kill you friends. You needed to defend then even if it costed your life. You start the long walk to the outskirts of town. There we so many Nazis but you made it to the outskirts at last. But you had taken to much damage trying to defend your friends and you could not sadly come with them. This did not matter to you because your friends were safe and that only matter to you.
Sorry if I messed up any spelling.
