2K Play
announced today that Axel & PixelTM, the
point-and-click adventure game for fans of all ages, is now available
worldwide exclusively on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft.


                 

“We are excited
about Axel & Pixel for its simple yet deep gameplay. The art
is breathtaking and the surreal sense of humor catches you by surprise,”
said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "All of these elements combined
offer a fresh experience that truly embodies the concept of ‘games as art’.”

 


Axel & Pixel

was developed by Silver Wish Games and utilizes a simple point-and-click
interface. Players lead Axel the artist and his dog Pixel through 24 levels
of stylized photo collage environments where they encounter nature-inspired
characters like the Ice Giant, his mischievous rat apprentice and other
motley inhabitants of the Dream World. Along their journey, the duo will
scale majestic mountains, build rafts to cross treacherous rivers, and fly
away in a hot air balloon through the Dream World.

 

In addition to
assisting Axel and Pixel on their adventures, players can race vehicles in
Arcade Mode and post high scores to the online leaderboard. Brave explorers
will also discover bonus items, including dog bones, sketches and paint
tubes hidden throughout the Dream World that give Axel the tools and
inspiration to complete his finest work of art.

 


Axel & Pixel

is now available worldwide exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 800 Microsoft
Points.  Axel & Pixel is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB. For
