Your real-world weather powers every battle. PixelWeather is two apps in one: a local weather app and a pixel-art action RPG. The weather outside your window sets the rules of the fight. Is it a hot afternoon? Fire spells hit harder. Is it a freezing night? Ice magic is stronger, and so is every attack. But so are the Skeleton King and Dracula. — A WEATHER APP WORTH OPENING — • Current conditions, temperature, wind, sunrise and sunset for your location • Hourly forecast. Tap any hour to preview it • A pixel-art scene that changes with the weather and time of day: rain, snow, fog, storms, haze, dust and more • Preview any of 16 weather conditions, day or night, whatever the forecast says — THE WEATHER CHANGES THE FIGHT — • Night gives +50% to all damage • Hot days power up Fire. Cold days power up Ice • Rain, snow, storms, wind and fog each boost matching effects, and bonuses stack • Bosses react to weather too. Undead grow stronger at night, and mist favors the Witch and Necromancer • Use Weather Override to lock in the conditions you want before a run — FIVE HEROES, FOUR ELEMENTS — Play as the Wizard, Archer, Witch, Ninja or Knight. Each one has four skills: • Fire: burns enemies over time • Ice: slows enemies down • Poison: deals damage over time • Arcane: pierces through enemies Skills that level up gain explosive splash damage. New heroes unlock as you keep playing day after day. — ENDLESS STAGES, DEADLY BOSSES — Clear a wave and a stronger one follows. Past stage 10, bosses appear: Dracula, the Skeleton King, the Necromancer, the Pirate Captain, the Greater Ice Elemental, Golems and more. Pick up random power-ups such as Shuriken Storm, Sword Barrier, Exploding Pumpkin, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, Lightning Mode and Rapid Fire to turn a run around. — LOYAL PETS — Keep playing to earn two pet companions. The Baby Turtle halves the damage you take, and the Baby Reindeer adds extra damage to your attacks. Both pets chase down enemies and block incoming projectiles. — SIMPLE CONTROLS — Move with the D-pad or swipe. Fire in 8 directions, or tap the center button to auto-target the nearest enemy. — COMPETE — Each hero has its own Game Center leaderboard, plus achievements for leveling up heroes and battling at night or in rain, snow and lightning. Check the sky, pick your hero, and fight.
