If you’re looking for a new game to play this weekend, you can give Pixel Craft a try. This one shoot ’em up is well put together, plays nicely and is free to download.
You do this in Pixel Craft
Thousands of new games appear in the App Store every week, but only a few are worth playing. Pixel Craft, a new game that appeared for a few days, is now featured in the App Store in the ‘favorite new games’ section, along with other cool titles like Fire Emblem Heroes.
If you’ve ever played a shoot ’em up, then you know roughly what to expect from Pixel Craft. You play as a small spaceship that automatically moves from bottom to top. The ship shoots continuously with a weapon and your job is to get through the levels as best as possible.
The standard weapon is fine, but in the levels you regularly encounter other guns to make it a bit easier for yourself. In addition, it is possible to use a shield, so that you can be hit by enemies more often, but you also have the so-called ‘super weapons’, which clean up all enemies on the screen in one fell swoop.
As you’d expect from a good shoot ’em up, Pixel Craft has some tough bosses. Also cool are the retro graphics of the game, which are accompanied by a cheerful music. Pixel Craft doesn’t do much new, but is a fun game to pick up when you’re bored, or on the bus or train.
Download Pixel Craft for iOS
As mentioned, Pixel Craft can be downloaded for free from the App Store. With an in-app purchase of 1.99 euros you can remove the ads. To install the game, you need 28.3MB of free storage space and iOS 8 or higher.
