Pixelum

It’s experimental, it’s unique, and it’s fun

Pixelum is an abandoned Early Access ripoff of Terraria, right down to the godawful retro pixel "art" and lack of 3D graphics. Gameplay, had the game been finished, would have consisted of the same basic stuff you do in survival games, dig dirt, chop trees, build stuff, kill monsters. Which is certainly a recipe for success, given Terraria's inexplicable popularity despite such terrible, obsolete graphics, a problem shared by Pixelum What isn't shared between Pixelum and Terraria is the game being "finished" and the game not being "abandoned", and those are pretty important points. Pixelum was abandoned by the developers immediately on launch into Early Access. No patches were dropped after launch day, well over a year ago. So, bad graphics, really clunky gameplay, moving about is a mess as you slide around uncomfortably like someone dropped a blob of custard on the floor. Basically, zero polish, which is unsurprising considering this is an abandoned alpha. The game isn't even free, the developers indicate they want to charge money for this incomplete dumpster fire. Which is really where the biggest mistake of all is, and while I'm not here to give developers any advice, the correct way to run an early access scam is to charge huge amounts of money up front, take the money, dump the unfinished product on Steam and head for the hills. It's not a very effective scam if you forget to take peoples money before dumping the product and running. Anyway, broken dead unfinished abandoned game of woeful quality, don't waste the time it takes to add this to your library.
