There’s also a heartwarming story running through all of this about the responsibility that comes with power, the doubt that can so often accompany that, and the worry that one’s efforts to help only end up making things worse. These cute little romantic moments are always a welcome reprieve from pencils the size of trucks dropping out of the sky and dealing with a villain whose incompetence is somehow more villainous than his evil schemes.
As you spend more time with each of the other Puzzle Leaguers, you’ll grow closer to them, learning more about who they are and getting your flirt on. The frowned-upon nature of workplace relationships be damned Pixel Girl is single and ready to find love, and she’s just joined a group of super-cuties that she’s going to be spending a lot of time with. There’s plenty of heart amid all those jokes, too. Pixel Puzzle Makeout League takes a completely absurd premise and leans into wholeheartedly, with results that are absolutely hilarious. In almost any other visual novel, that’d probably ruin the whole experience, but here, it just makes every line of dialogue even funnier. Most of the narrative is delivered through a visual novel format, and the developers didn’t shy away from using flashy, often ridiculous text animations as often as they possibly could.
It’s pure goofball humour with a surreal twist, that misses the opportunity for some puzzle themed joke or a sudden deviation to being a low-poly early 2000s MMORPG for a spell. In other words, Pixel Puzzle Makeout League is just bananas from the outset, and it just gets more and more bizarre as it trucks along. The Puzzle League soon finds its work cut out for it when giant everyday objects start falling from the sky, and the dastardly Villain-that’s his name-keeps trying to kidnap Pixel Girl. They even found a humanoid jigsaw puzzle piece to join the gang in Piecea, an alien visitor from Puzzle Planet. A few other local puzzle enthusiasts also found themselves mysteriously granted superpowers relating to their preferred choice of brain teaser-sudoku, crosswords, chess-and so they did what anyone would do in such a situation: they donned costumes and formed a superhero team called the Puzzle League. Pixel Girl wasn’t alone in this strange phenomena. Then a flash of light and some cryptic words from a voice inside her head, and she found herself with the unusual ability to solve whatever problems she finds before her… by turning them into pixel puzzles. Pixel Girl was a regular young woman with a fascination with nonograms, aka pixel puzzles, aka Picross-those wonderful logic puzzles that see you using numbered clues along the edges of a grid in order to reveal a picture hidden within. Related: Pictopix is essential for anyone who enjoys pixel puzzles. Everybody’s daydreamed about waking up one day with pixel puzzle-themed superpowers, right? No? Well I know I have, and apparently the good folks at Rude Ghost have too, because that’s the concept behind Pixel Puzzle Makeout League, a humorous, surreal, adorable game that sees you saving the day by solving pixel puzzles, and finding love along the way.
