1. What is Pixels Game?
Pixels is an Open-World Web3 Game that was previously on the Polygon network but has now shifted to the Ronin Network. Its art style is similar to old-school 8-bit or 16-bit games (like Pokemon or Stardew Valley).
In this game, players farm, gather resources, and develop their land. Its main focus is on social interaction and resource management.
2. Gameplay Mechanics: What Do You Have to Do?
The gameplay of Pixels is quite simple yet addictive:
Farming: The most basic task is to sow seeds and harvest crops. This gives you resources.
Crafting: You can combine different materials (like wood, clay, and farming tools) to create new items.
Quests: There are NPCs (Non-Player Characters) in the game who give you tasks. Completing these rewards you.
Skills: As you work, your skills (Cooking, Woodcutting, Mining) keep upgrading.

Free Lands (Specks): These are for new players. They have fewer resources.
