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.

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.
