Pixel Astray
Eliminate stray pixels, resolve the chroma crisis, and shine bright like a diamond!
STORY
A lone white pixel basked in the glory of owning all the spectrum colors, convinced its brilliance would last forever. But then,
the designer got creative and splashed color everywhere! Now,
former-white pixel is on a quest to reclaim the colors and
regain the one-and-only status!
GOOD
• Collect colors from stray pixels with mighty bursts.
• Use skills to move colored pixels or teleport past the whites.
• Arrange pixels into large stacks and collect all with one powerful burst!
BAD
• Moving drains your energy. Collect colors to keep your energy levels high.
• Crashing into the screen edge or a white pixel costs you a life.
• White pixels are tough. Eliminate them by collecting their neighboring colors.

ABOUT
• Pixel Astray features six mini-games, each with a unique twist.
• I began developing it for the GoGodot Jam 4 with the theme "Less is More." After missing the deadline, I used it to learn game development in the following months.
• I still want to fix some bugs, fine-tune the level settings, and add a few features, so stay tuned for updates. After that, I will officially "call it a game".
• As a newcomer to game development, I truly appreciate any feedback. If it turns out that players enjoy Pixel Astray, I might expand it into a complete game instead of starting a new project.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• Rare bug ... If your pixel gets stuck on the grid, try pressing the R key or START button on the gamepad to reload the current scene.
• If the game isn't running smoothly, your computer might be overwhelmed by the number of stray pixels. Try closing unnecessary windows and apps, or play one of the games with fewer strays count.
• I recommend downloading the game for the best experience.
