Tags for Ode To Pixel Days
Description
"Ode To Pixel Days" is about a teenage boy, Hans, having a crush on a cheerleader. Hans gets rejected by the cheerleader, because he is ugly, and not charismatic. Hans tries to change this by building a machine that will make everyone look the same. When everyone looks the same, he can have the girl of his dreams! But of course, in reality, things don't work that way; and Hans is about to get into some bitter experiences.
The game is played in a castle, that represents the world created by Hans' mind. The game's artistic goal is to put the players in Hans' mind, to make them play through his emotional experiences, hopes and dreams. The core experience of the game is the feelings a boy goes through when he gets into puberty; loneliness, sadness, low self-esteem, the desire to change things about you and everything around you.
This game is made completely by one person, and that is me.
How to Play
WASD or Direction buttons to move and jump. SPACE to interact.

Hans might have had better luck if he'd learned her name instead of calling her "cheerleader". Chicks dig it when you learn their name.

Interesting game, for sure. But I think I got a *much* more morbid message from this game. Hans is feeling dejected by his unpopularity. He dreams about making everyone equal in every form, he shrinks down. But he knows that can't happen, he begins to grow again. And then things got strange - he fights and defeats himself [Loss of hope]. And then he imagines himself flying...and jump off of a building [Action]. And then he is flashbacked to a black-and-white scene where you are shunned, again, by the girl you think you love. [Motive] My first thought went to, "Jesus, I think this kid just committed suicide."
Anyone else?

When a flying castle can't hold your dreams, the obvious thing to do is freefall out of it, drop 5000 feet into the schoolyard, then nonchalantly walk up to that hot girl you like and pretend you really don't care about her since you've learned to dream bigger. ....She doesn't care because you're still ugly. Great effort at a thoughtful game, even if the story is a bit odd. 4 stars.
But Hans went to her, she's the cool one :) thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
