Guide your pixel through a scrolling tunnel and see how far you can get before the walls catch up with you. Pixly brings an old C game to iPhone and iPad. What began as an ASCII game in an 80-by-25 console lives on in two playable versions: • Pixly 1.0: the classic console-style game, with stepped tunnel walls and simple tap controls. • Pixly 2.0: smooth movement and physics, with the same pixel-sized challenge. Choose a theme, change your avatar, and chase your best score.
