Frightened Pixels 1.0

Frightened Pixels is a pixel art horror game and although the graphics are nothing special well the clue is in the title of Frightened Pixels but the game will get your heart racing mostly that’s down to the sound effects which set the atmosphere and make it very tense, walking through your house which is covered in blood and what looks like used murder weapons, at times you will have to solve puzzles to progress further in the game such as at the very start where you must search your bedroom to find the key to be able to leave as you put it somewhere safe and upon waking you can’t remember where it is.

As you progress through the game there are other puzzles to solve to get to the next part although the music is very tense the lack of actual scares was disappointing and although at first it may make your heart race as you keep going and going without any real action it becomes a little frustrating. It also seems the calibration of the mouse to the screen is off during the game too.

A little leeway needs to be afforded to the developers Buckshot Studios however due to the fact this is the first game they have developed.

You can play it for yourself to see but also the finale of the game was something of a disappointment after such a spooky and promising start.
