Pixel Whirled Review (iOS)

Posted by Amy Shortz Baldry, Yesterday

Ahoy! Welcome to the scurvy world of pixels PIxel Whirlnot the normal world of pixels as you may imagine though, this is Pixel Whirled not only do you have the power and swagger of a sea faring dog you also play a nimble ninja!

As you make your way through 16 levels each varying in location and theme your pirate and ninja are armed with cannons and deathGDN Silver stars as they shoot the onslaught of enemies coming for them in a very space invader like fashion. How do I play two characters at once I hear you say well the clue to this is most certainly in the name of the game.

The character you start with will be highlighted and you will notice that the worlds have a ceiling with your space invader moving like enemies moving both up and down the screen if you whirl your device around the character that was once on the roof of your screen is now on the ground level and they are now highlighted and available for use to keep those pesky enemies at bay!

I absolutely love the controls to this game is makes it fast paced and a pleasure keeping you in the thick of the action at all times all you need to do is move your character left or right and shoot, your enemies can vary from jelly fish, mummies, monsters and even killer apples and playing it in very colourful 8- bit graphics really does give the game that nostalgic wonder boy feel as you make your way through 16 levels of great fun game play!

Even the music changes with each level and the sound effects are complimentary to the game design and add to the retro feel you get when playing. The only thing I can find wring with this game is the fact that is lacks levels as they are over very quickly and you end up whizzing through the levels, apart from that this game is most desirable for your collection but be warned if you pick it up and stat playing it its not something that is going to be put down as quickly again
