Imagine if you could play a character throughout the history of gaming, instead of loading up Emulator after Emulator, that character could be played through all the historic levels, as if it were those good old days. Well now you can, with a game called Life of Pixel. This title which is currently going through a kickstarter, and developed by Super Icon, is a game dedicated to the brilliance of classic gaming machines. Life of Pixel has a large amount of levels, 72 in fact, which are spread over 9 historic gaming machines, such as the Amstrad or Spectrum. As you traverse the levels collecting gems, the game takes on the graphical tone as if you were playing on that very machine, brilliant eh? But there's more!
Each machine features 8 levels choc-full of classic platform elements old and new; such as moving & destructible platforms, double jumps, gravity inversion (walk on ceilings) and lots of different enemies. You'll also be feeling nostalgic with the excellent chiptune music, which really adds to the feel of the game. This could well be a gaming hit and although it's Currently out now on PlayStation Mobile, if the £10,000 goal is a success via kickstarter it will also appear on the PC, Mac, iOS and Android.
