Pixel Legions lets you fight pixels with pixels - Time Waster

Filed under: ,

Pixel Legions

When Pixel Legions started loading, I was confused. On the one hand, it has "pixels" in the title. On the other hand, it's a fairly large download for a Flash game -- around 3MB.

It turns out those "pixels" are actually shiny, germ-like, tiny spots. The whole game has a "biological" feel to it, except that the dots are square and emit "light."

You have a "base," which is a solid-colored square. Your base emits clouds of pixels; you can click any one of these clouds (not the individual pixels!) and drag it anywhere on the screen. When it meets a different-colored cloud, they "fight." You can see that at the bottom part of the screenshot above, where my cloud (the lower one) encountered a larger cloud.

During a fight, a semi-transparent frame surrounds both pixel clouds. You can send reinforcements (i.e, drag another pixel cloud into the fray), but that's just about the only thing you can do. There is no way to "control" a fight or disengage once it has started. A single fight only takes a few seconds.

The overall goal of each level is to annihilate the enemy base, which you do by storming it with lots of pixel clouds.
