    This game is a an absolute gem, I picked it up today and haven't put it down. If you're into casual, arcade style game play, then POPixel is going to be right up your alley. Stunning and vibrant pixel art visuals. Cute and catchy music, it doesn't get annoying or repetitive. And just really solid, smooth controls and game play mechanics. Total bargain at £1.43, I'll be gifting this to some friends.

    POPixel is a frustrating pixel graphic game. It just isn't fun! There are flash games better than this, with better controls. And they are FREE!

    You jump on balloons but it feels more like a mobile game. A few stages with some minor challenge, but overall nothing special. Play only if you're hardcore platformers enthusiast.

    A fun little platformer type game. It doesn't accomplish anything particularly exciting but its pretty solid for a little time-waster. Not a bad price either for what it's worth. It's good if you want something casual and not too complicated but it also feels like it could just be a mobile game. Trading cards are a plus though. Overall, factoring in price and gameplay, it's a decent game. 6/10

    This game isn’t terrible, but it’s extremely poorly optimized for modern systems. Unfortunately, this seems to be a recurring issue with all the games included in the Pacotão CGGAMES BUNDLE, as they all suffer from similar problems. For example, POPIXEL won’t run on my primary system equipped with a Radeon RX 6750 XT, but it works on an older Radeon 580 and NVIDIA-based cards (on an older notebook running LMDE). Another game in the bundle, Milford Haven, has significant audio and graphical…

    This game would be fine except for two things that I experienced: 1. A minor bug is on Volcano level 16: a random balloon high in the stage that is completely inaccessible. 2. A much bigger bug on Big City level 13: the first balloon (an “Esvolaçado”) will always explode when hit, rendering the level, and therefore the entire game, unbeatable. I could give this game a thumbs up if these two issues (or at least the second one) were fixed. I won't be holding my breath though.

    I definitely recommend this game! It's cheap, the badges are good, the gameplay is good and fun, and you can play this without worrying about damaging your achievement stats! Pro's: 1. Fun game with no achievements to worry about 2. Trading cards with decent looking badges (as seen from an outside website, don't have actual badge yet) 3. Decently challenging level objectives for people who actually want to play a game 4. Dirt cheap! got mine for $0.99 Con's (not really cons, but just…

    Review made by Review Experts POPixel is a Retro Pixel Art game where you are a cannon-ball man that need to explode every ballon in a level. It's really catchy and beautiful. Graphics: As it’s name “POPixel” all the graphics are a beautiful merge of pixel art + retro,maybe the goal is too simple,but the graphics are really well made and can entertain until you complete the entire game(120 levels!) Sound: Simple,but essential here,the music is for keeping you calm while you master all…

    POPixel is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This one is particularly awful and has you jumping on balloons which pop, so it works a bit like an endless runner meets platformer meets garbage tier game quality. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel…

    https://youtu.be/_PcwZf_RLI0 Fly through the air with the greatest of ease bouncing from balloon to balloon to reach the end goal. Popping all the balloons and collecting numerous coins around the level award completionist medals at the end. A simple concept that is delivered well is what makes POPixel worth checking out. Each stage will challenge the player's dexterity to make the jump and mentally to puzzle out the paths to pop and collect everything along the way.

    The same platformer that quickly hooks you in and quickly pushes you away and gets boring

    POPixel is a pixel game in which you play as an acrobat who makes his way through the expanses of four different worlds jumping from one balloon to another. Each ball is unique in its own way, when you try to see it, you can see a characteristic effect only to it. Our simple task is to go through the map and collect three coins, solving aerodynamic puzzles along the way. The game really captivates with its simple and old graphics and a nice price. I don’t think that the game was made by the…
