Save the day!

Our Site Score

91/100

McPixel 3 is a glorious explosion of 8-bit absurdity. Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, it tasks you with saving the day in 100 chaotic levels, but the twist is that 'saving the day' usually involves the most nonsensical solutions imaginable. The humor is visceral, crude, and consistently surprising—you'll find yourself laughing out loud at the sheer unpredictability of what happens when you interact with the environment.

Beyond the point-and-click chaos, the inclusion of over 20 genre-bending minigames keeps the pace lightning-fast. The software-rendered engine gives it a unique retro charm that feels authentic rather than forced. Exploring McBurg and finding 'Steve' levels adds a wonderful layer of discovery. It’s a game that rewards curiosity and 'bad' ideas just as much as correct ones, making it a must-play for fans of indie comedy.

Dinsun Review

I’m not usually one for toilet humor, and McPixel 3 has it in spades. It’s an objectively stupid game, but it’s self-aware about it. The loop is simple: you’re in a room, something is going to blow up, and you have to do something—anything—to stop it. Most of the time, the solution makes no logical sense, which is the point. It’s more of an interactive joke book than a puzzle game.

The pixel art is great, capturing that early 90s shareware vibe perfectly. But the charm can wear thin if you play for more than 20 minutes at a time. It’s exhausting. It’s perfect for a quick laugh while you're waiting for a bus, but don't expect any depth. It’s the video game equivalent of a loud, obnoxious clown—funny for a bit, but eventually, you just want some peace and quiet.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's falling too fast to be either of those. It's McPixel! A wanna-be hero who keeps getting mixed up in the most unbelievable situations you can imagine.

Levels

One moment you're stuck in a speeding train headed towards the cliff; the other, you're in a falling plane. Sometimes you need to win an impossible-to-win soccer match, and the other, you're a dinosaur trying to hide from a meteorite. Stuck in a flaming house? Sandwiched between two battling armies? Certainly not a problem for McPixel! 100 levels of fast-paced action are waiting for you!

Minigames

Sometimes, the usual adventure style will get interrupted by genre-bending minigames. Ranging from racing, shooting, fighting, and sports to even platforming or FPS! The game offers over 20 minigames scattered around the world of McPixel!

Coins and stamps

McPixel is not all about just saving the day but having fun trying to come up with the craziest possible solutions. And for every solution, you will be rewarded with coins! Find all solutions in a level to get the gold prize and some extra coins! You can use them to unlock new levels! Also, everyone loves coins, right? They're shiny and golden and spinning! No reason not to have some more!

McBurg

The game takes place in the city of McBurg. Explore the city and find different adventures! Some of the paths in the city are blocked and will require you to spend coins to move forward and access new levels! The city will get populated with characters and items from the levels you already visited as you play. You will also be able to don some of the costumes you found while playing.

On the edge of the city upon a grassy hill, you can see a Devolver vault, full of gold, looming over McBurg. So, if you ever need a lot of coins, maybe it's time to pay Fork Parker a visit?

Steve

Sometimes, during your adventures, you will find Steve. Steve can be in the weirdest and most unexpected of places, and finding him will transport you to the Steve level.

Steve is not like McPixel and doesn't specialize in saving the day. He's just some guy, doing stuff. Like fishing, cooking, driving a car, or summoning demons. You know, just the average guy kind of stuff.

McPixel Engine

McPixel 3 runs on 100% software-rendered McPixel Engine, so in the age of unaffordable graphics cards, you can be sure you will be able to run McPixel 3 just fine!

The engine has been written from scratch just for the purpose of running McPixel. That makes the game run smoothly even on the oldest computer, so make sure you install McPixel on your grandma's PC next time you visit! Additionally, that makes the game environment-friendly! McPixel 3 saves the planet (and battery life)!
