PixelHeart is an 8-bit platformer/side-scroller video game with puzzle, action and adventure elements and a moving storyline. It is designed for PC with a third-person perspective and real-time gameplay. The story follows a young man who creates a fantasy world to escape his boring reality but finds it turns against him as he must fight to escape. PixelHeart has simulated 8-bit graphics and a simple control scheme using arrow keys to move and jump and the space bar to shoot in a platform-style world. It is meant to be fun for both adults and children while being easy to learn but challenging to complete as it incorporates combat, puzzles and exploration.
