Buy McPixel

Imagine a puzzle game where logic is thrown out fo the window, and absurdity is rewarded - that's McPixel.

McPixel, the 'hero', is faced with various different scenarios where he is tasked with saving the day, often from a bomb. There's only one way to save the day in each scenario, but it'll often take trial and error to discover it. It often won't make sense, but it will more often than not be absurd and strangely funny.

The McPixel website describes it best "You have 20 seconds to solve each riddle, regardless whether you lose or fail, you will be transported to next puzzle that you haven't solved yet."

While it might take several attempts (and in some cases a lot of click and hope) to discover the correct way to solve the puzzle, the game rewards you, and in some ways encourages you to find all the different endings to each scenario. If you find them all you unlock the an extra round of scenarios in each level.

The game is entirely based around using the mouse, and clicking on the various objects within a scenario to trigger the outcome. There's little more to it than that, so in a stragne way it would make a great iOS game and I think I would have enjoyed it in a more casual pick up and play basis in 10 minute bursts.
Having said that I did stomach it enough to sit through it all and finish the game within 2 hours, and then attempt the 'Free DLC'.
There's plenty of pop culture references and humour to keep you engaged if you're something of a 'nerd' (I know I found them entertaining). However, the game becomes slightly derailed towards the end with just how unlogical and absurd the puzzles become. In some cases there's no real way of discovering how to save the world without a good old fashioned hopeless clicking everywhere on the screen frezy.

I enjoyed it for the crazy nature of the game, however the soundtrack might just put some people off as there's only really one track that repeats throughout the game. In short, a crazy puzzle game that might not be for everyone depending on your absurdity threshold. I'll recommend it as I enjoyed it, but I can see why some people might not. Not for everyone.

Probably best to check out the free demo available on the website: http://mcpixel.net/ or on Steam.

10/10 Best game ever.

This is actually a trial and error game; click the right things in the right order to prevent an explosion. If you fail, you have to do the other levels in the chapter first. At the end of the chapter, the game lets you retry the failed levels, until you completed them all. Then you proceed to the next chapter. You have to memorize the things you have already tried, so you can try something different the next time you play that level. There are some silly and amusing jokes here and there but in the end I didn't really enjoy this game that much. I just got bored fast. At least on PC. I think this game is much more suitable for mobile platforms, to play in short bursts, to kill some time with. And guess what... McPixel is actually available on mobile platforms! You can buy the game for Android and iPhone. I wish Steam would offer an option to review a game with a sort of neutral verdict. Because as a mobile game, I would actually say yes. But this is Steam and we are reviewing Steam games here. As a PC game, it just doesn't work for me.

McPixel is a short, pop-culture referencing game with little game play, but has comedic value in its referencing. Would only recommend for gamers looking for a casual experience. 6.2/10

Its a just awesome game, Good humor, fun levels and more,more,more and more FREE DLC!!!!!!!
Have fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More of a joke than a game. Gameplay consists of clicking randomly throughout the screen until finding the correct place. No skill or thought is required to play this game. Tedious.

This game is nothing short of revolutionary. It changed the way I see things in my day to day life. I feel I have been given the necessary skills to perform bomb disarmament and look forward to one day saving a Buddhist temple. This game is educational and a must for anyone in today's populous world of danger.

Too simple for me. All I have to do is what I would do IRL. Ez game ez life.

Recommended if you do drugs, or if you are plain mentally sick....Like me.
This game's got more explosions than a Michael Bay movie.

I have the faintest of suspicions that I may be "getting old". The fact that this game is frankly too silly for even the immature likes of me seems to bear this out. That, and the fact that while I was fine with all the post, and indeed post-post, and probably even post-post-post, and maybe, just maybe, even all the post-post-post-post-modernist humour that has emerged during my lifetime, all this post-post-post-post-post-modernist humour that seems all the rage these days is just a bit beyond me, I'm afraid. Half the time, not only did I not find the "gags" of this game all that funny, but at least another quarter of the time I didn't even understand what had just transpired (though the insanely, even downright PERVERSELY pixelated nature of events may not have helped in these instances). The other quarter of the time, okay, I got myself a cheap chuckle - my personal favourite was trying to work out who the virgin was to throw in the volcano, and ultimately (and successfully) deciding on MYSELF - but the laughs really are too few and far between to put up with the eye-bleedingly awful graphics and incredibly limited gameplay. (Groovy music, though.)

Look, I will recommend it, but only just, and only to those who need a brief break from watching allegedly "funny ♥♥♥♥" all day, every day on ♥♥♥♥ing YOUTUBE. Yes, it's at roughly THAT level, I'm afraid. Enjoy your LOLs, kiddies...

Verdict: 6/10.

To understand this game, you need a decent sense of humor, because it is so random and so "WTFy" that it actually makes you laugh. Also, logic don't apply here, so it's just pure fun without unnecessary frustration - once you get to the (least logical and most unexpected) solution, most of the time you'll laugh because of how hilarious it was.

McPixel, the game where all you're thinking is:"What the actual f*ck"

The gameplay part of the game is quite ineresting, it's a point and click game in which every click you make either continues with your death or you completing the level.

Graphic-wise it's...It's resolution is perfect for what it offers.

Don't expect logic from this game, just get it, play it, enjoy it.

The final Rating I'd give it is a 8/10 There's not much to say, it has some bugs and it's proud moments.

It's like Macgyver, but way more possible.

''Your choice, your opinion, your say. You have 30 seconds to stop the bomb the McPixel way.'' My quote was actually quite nice to think of it. Also, it is recommended for people who loves puzzles and to solve mouse-clicking games. There are DLCs that are free and that is a good present. You get the story with 4 chapters and in each chapter, there is 3 levels to complete and also a hidden level. I hope this helps your advantage of getting this game, it's great. (By the way, my quote just rhymed, I was saving this note for last).

At first I found this game a little confusing. Then I kicked it in the nuts.

The game is short! On the other hand, had it been any longer, it wouldn't have suffered through it till I beat it, as everything about it is sub-par.

- The Graphics: I'm all for old-school big pixels. But this game demonstrates that even such a crude style needs a competent artist to be good. In McPixel, many times, it was impossible to see what object a big blot of pixels was supposed to represent. On average, everything that appeared on screen was ugly.

- The Audio: There are no sound effects and the music is repetitive and irritative.

- Mechanisms: McPixel is a string of short adventure game-style sections in which you need to solve "puzzles" within 20 seconds. A solution typically requires one to three clicks on the various objects in the scene, and follows no logic whatsoever. I'm not talking alternative logic, Antichamber-style. I'm talking 100% random sequences of clicks. yuk Should you try any other sequence than the right one, you lose.

- Timing: The scenes come in groups of 6. You try scene 1 once, then, no matter if you won or lost, you try scene 2... After scene 6 you go back to the first scene that you haven't won yet. The cycle goes on until all six scenes are won. The problem is that such short sequences are separated by transition segments that last several seconds. You can skip them with a right-click, but it's tedious any way.

- Humor: Almost all combinations of clicks in a scene, no matter how "right" or "wrong" they are, cause a little animation that tries to be funny. I think in the whole game, two or three of them made me smile. The rest was just complete, random nonsense. Not the funny nonsense you'd find in a Monty Python comedy or the poetic nonsense of Lewis Caroll. Just whatever dull and/or gross stuff crossed the developer's mind.

I won't give it the lowest score possible because it was short enough and make me grin for at least 20 seconds, but this is not a game I would recommend to any sober individual. There is zero chance I'll try any of the bonus stuff like hidden gags or "free DLC" or whatever.

Rating: 3 out of 10

Now i like funny games and consider myself to have a good sense of humour,but come on what the hell is this game all about.
I know that graphics dont make a game but they could have helped with this one.
You start the first level like every level not really knowing what the "HELL" is going on and what your supposed to do (OH SORRY STOP THE BOMB SILLY ME DUH),and thats the way every level plays out.
Its not a question of working out what to do as it is blind luck,and dont do the level right and you get to play it again (OH NO THE PAIN) and then do it wrong again and you get to do it again (WHERES THE EXIT PLEASE),and then you realise that you are just wasting your time and that you know you will get it right eventually as there are not many options left.
I didnt enjoy my time with this game (OH MY GOD I DID TRY TO THE POINT OF PURE FRUSTRATION) and i wouldent reccomend it to anyone in a sale or in a bundle.
Do like McPixel and find a way to blow this game up (AND IF YOU DONT MANAGE TO KEEP AT IT UNTIL YOU DO) and please dear god dont let there be a sequel.

This is a comedy indie title, and I love indie titles with a good sense of humour~! Play it while you're high for an enhanced experience. Even if you're not, the level of stupid humour in this might as well make you high.

Spoof 8 bit version of the 80's TV show "McGuyver" where you must stop a bomb exploding withing 20 seconds.

It's fun in short bursts (the way it is meant to be played - it even says so on the loading screen) and it is incredible random. One screen clicking on a man might make him open his mouth, the next it might make him fall off a building, you never know, so it's basically trial and error to hit on the correct solution. However, if you get it wrong, you usually get a quick laugh along with the chance to replay the level again. Plus it comes with tons of bonus free DLC, so if you are looking for a quick palette cleanser to play between games, McPixel might do the trick.

I punched a seal, then it gave my a orange flavoured yogurt.
