What are Pixel?

Pixel games, also referred to as pixel art games, are video games that prominently feature pixelated graphics as their core visual aesthetic. This style is defined by its use of small, square pixels that are clearly visible, forming the building blocks of the game’s visual design. The individual pixels are arranged to create characters, environments, and objects, resulting in a distinct, blocky appearance that many players associate with a retro, often nostalgic feel. This visual approach is reminiscent of the graphics used in early gaming consoles like the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), or Sega Genesis, which were limited by the technology of their time.
