Wish the black sides were transparent a bit. Overall decent game

Pow, right into the action! I didn't have enough time to screw my head on straight.

It took me a while to know what was happening but man, fun and perfect for the theme!!! Very original

Its fun! The execution of the shrinking screen works well here. It would have been better if you could see the UI over the darkening screen and if it was easier to predict the rockets.

I'm not sure if i was successfully getting pixels back, but i enjoyed trying! cool concept, really well-done screen effect, and fun character art. gj!

a bit confusing at first but really good!

Fantastic use of theme, but found it difficult to anticipate rockets, I feel as soon as I see them (with a full screen) it can be impossible to avoid them.

A really cool game idea and take on the theme! I liked the idea of the actual pixels on your screen slowly being sacrificed. Some audio would have really added to the experience.

Really fun game ! Your idea is well implemented and intuitive to play. Adding three difficulty modes was a great idea though, although I feel like an "easy" mode or a tutorial would have helped a lot.

Pros :
- Really fun idea and great evolution mechanics
- Not having to actually press the mouse button to get those resources is a blessing
- Loved the simple but readable graphics

Cons :
- Really hard, even in normal mode (at least for me). Missiles are hard to avoid and the base speed is really low.

All in all, great job !

Nice idea!

Good job with this, this has a lot of potential if you choose to continue with it.

Definitely if you could juice up the game a bit, that'd be great. Perhaps making missiles indicate where they're about to fly from as well. It was a bit difficult to avoid them long enough to revive lost pixels.

Overall, nice work!
