Welcome to Pixel Rescue! It's a fun and challenging 3D pixel art color-matching puzzle game! Here, adorable baby octopuses are trapped in giant pixel art patterns. As the rescue team commander, you'll dispatch rescue boats of different colors to safely pick them up! How to Play? • Observe & Match: Check the color of the outermost octopuses, then choose a matching boat to dock. • Fill Up & Set Sail: Once a boat is docked, baby octopuses of the same color will automatically line up and board. Keep an eye on the boat's capacity — once it's full, it will automatically set sail! • Unlock Layer by Layer: The inner octopuses are revealed only after the outer ones are picked up. Plan the pickup order wisely, clear the entire board, and win!
