Pixel Games
Pixel games are games that use a graphic style with large pixels, reminiscent of old arcade and console games from the 80s and 90s. Despite their "simplicity," these games have a unique aesthetic and atmosphere that attract players with their nostalgia and straightforwardness. Pixel art allows players to focus on gameplay rather than complex graphics, making games in this genre accessible to a wide audience. Pixel games often feature vibrant styles, pixelated worlds, and simple mechanics. These games can include elements of platformers, role-playing games, strategy games, as well as shooters and puzzles. Even today, the pixel style remains popular due to its unique aesthetic and minimalist approach.
