"When you’re dealing with essentially just black and white, you have to go that extra mile to give your visuals some extra detail and life, and Pixboy does a great job with this." ~ TouchArcade, Game of the Week
"You’ll feel like a monochrome Indiana Jones while seeking out the 150 secret rooms that are hidden throughout the game’s 40 levels." ~ Pocket Gamer

Ratings and Reviews
Nice
It’s always great finding a platformer that not only has a good difficulty level but that also isn’t another game done with single screen stages.
The level design is really good. There’s a good variety of enemies and their placement isn’t haphazard (the devs didn’t just pile a bunch together to artificially bump up the difficulty), and the virtual controls & movement physics are really well done.
And even though having different characters to play with would have been a big plus, it is nice being able to spend the collected coins on the 20 or so different color schemes.
I definitely thought that the $4 I paid for it was a good price, so if you can grab it during a $1.99 or $0.99 sale, it’d be a real steal.
Thank you for the great game, and extra thanks for not making it a single screen per level affair. 🤪
Definitely recommended to platformer fans who are looking for a bit of a challenge.
