Pixel Perfect

About

In Pixel Perfect you can work with a partner to recreate a kawaii masterpiece! Join forces to become a SUPERPAINTER to mix colors and paint even larger tiles. Can you surpass your earthly tethers and recreate all of our works of art? 

Make sure to play in full-screen mode for the best experience. We hope you enjoy playing Pixel Perfect!

Game Jam

Pixel Perfect was prototyped during Brackeys Game Jam 2021.1 where the theme was "Stronger Together"! We wanted to make a game that emphasized cooperation and characters becoming stronger when fused, and we came up with Pixel Perfect!

Controls 

Player 1 paints with <W,S,A,D>

Player 2 paints with ARROW KEYS 

Display reference image with <SPACE>

Canvas Description

1. Undo Button: Allows the game state to be reverted one step in the past. Holds a maximum of 5 states.

2. Color Wells: Changes player color to the well's color.

3. Fill Bucket: Fills the canvas with a mix of the two input colors. Both fill buckets must be toggled on to initiate the fill.

4: Opacity Slider: Adjusts the reference image's (the image that shows up when <SPACE> is held) opacity. Helps with outlining images.

5. Sound Sliders: Adjusts the game volume for the background track (left slider) and sound effects (right slider).

6. Progress Bar: Displays the player's progress on the canvas relative to the starting progress. Negative progress (the canvas is in a worse state than it started with) is treated the same as no progress.

7. Back Button: Returns back to the menu once pressed.

Color Selection

Select your color by moving your character into the color wells on the sides of the canvas! Color wells are AUTOMATICALLY created; thus, some colors may be slightly different than in the reference image. Color wells are mirrored on either sides of the canvas unless more than 8 colors are needed.

Piloting the SUPERPAINTER

Become a SUPERPAINTER by occupying the same space as your partner; you will stay conjoined as long as you move in tandem. As the SUPERPAINTER  you can color a 3x3 space and MIX colors, opening up new venues which are the key to solving some of our perilous puzzles. To disengage your SUPERPAINTER , move in a different direction than your partner does.

TODO

There are many additional features we would like to add in the future, after the Game Jam! These include:

• Background music and sound effects
• Particle effects and animations
• Undo button
• More levels and allowing custom levels to be added
• Additional tools for the players to use (fill, color inverts, skippable tiles) in the form of machinery
• and more!
