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)!

McPixel 3 is a point-and-click in similar style to There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension.
You can expect creative scenarios, crazy ideas and fun minigames from beginning to end.
I had a great time with this little gem!
A sequel to an older McPixel game, the gameplay consists of a bunch of short situations, in which McPixel has to survive / overcome some obstacle / help his grandma.
The situations are generally absurd, with McPixel adding to their absurdity with his crude humor and unconventional approaches. By the latter I mean, that, if you click on some mundane object, and expect the hero to interact with it in a sane manner, he can, say, take off his pants and pee on it instead. If that kind of humor is up your alley, you'll love this.
The situations are split into chapters, each chapter contains on average ~10 situations, so you can complete a single chapter in a short amount of time. Even though the goal of the situations is clearly defined, and you may reach it quickly, even if by accident, you can always continue replaying each situation to see every type of craziness, that can happen in it.
All it is accompanied by a bombastic soundtrack. And there's even a storyline!
All in all, if you like what you've just read, the game is definitely worth its money. If you're looking for some more "serious gaming", that's fine too, but this game ain't it.
Having enjoyed the first McPixel (incidentally this is the second game there is no McPixel 2) I was looking forward to trying this. There were no disappointments and many levels have a huge number of gags.
Later in the game there are some surprisingly advanced elements with 3D graphics that are still great fun and in keeping with the overall style of the game.
I've never played anything like 'McPixel 3'. It took me about six hours, and I don't think there was a moment I wasn't smiling during the entire experience.
It is essentially a 90s Point-and-Click game that is entirely comprised of ~20 second QuickTime Events. That SHOULDN'T work, but absolutely does.
A 'level' has roughly 8 scenes going on, each of which you get thrown into without exposition or explanation. Mess up, or do nothing, and McPixel / Everyone dies and the next scene loads. When you succeed in figuring out how to survive that 'scene' stops coming up and the game cycles rapidly between the remaining unsolved 'scenes'. Level's done when all scenes are survived.
Failure is usually hilarious, is not penalized since you're playing a new event within two seconds, and you get rewarded for dying as long as it's a novel death you haven't had yet. Even setbacks feel like forward progression!
The art, humor, and music are all on point. A single developer game entirely made of bespoke scenes, of which there are literally hundreds, has no right to look as beautiful as these do.
Pacing is perfect. The jokes constantly caught me off-guard. Difficulty is just right - sometimes I accidentally solved a scene immediately, three times I had to really buckle down and get my brain cranking.
Zero crashes with Win 11.
I got this on sale for two bucks, but having played it I'm willing to buy this guy's work at full price from here on out. McPixel is a steal at the normal cost.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
