Pixel Count, Think Before You Step Every move matters. Pixel Count is a strategic number puzzle where your goal is simple: Find the path with the lowest possible total from the top-left corner to the bottom-right. It sounds easy. It isn’t. The Objective: Move through a grid of numbered tiles. Each tile adds to your total score. Your mission is to reach the exit with the smallest sum possible. Lower is better. Always. How It Works: • Move up, down, left, or right • No diagonal moves • You can’t revisit tiles • You may undo your last step • Your score equals the sum of all tiles you stepped on Plan carefully. One wrong turn can cost everything. Game Modes: Classic Mode: Progress through handcrafted levels with increasing grid sizes and complexity. Earn stars based on how close you are to the optimal path. Unlock new challenges as you improve. Daily Challenge: One shared puzzle every day. Chaos Mode: Timed stages with rising pressure. Complete a stage to earn bonus time and push your limits. As you advance, new mechanics appear: • Blocked tiles that force reroutes • Teleport links connecting distant areas • Larger grids requiring deeper planning The puzzle evolves with you.. Why You’ll Love Pixel Count: • Simple rules, deep strategic gameplay • Pure logic and optimization • No randomness — skill determines success • Hundreds of carefully designed levels • Clean, minimalist design • Perfect for short sessions or long thinking streaks If you enjoy number puzzles, pathfinding challenges, logic games, or brain-training apps — this is for you.
