Pixel Platformer

Lets Design and Online Games HQ, through a joint venture, have launched Pixel Platformer. The first Flash game to implement pixel advertising as a source of funding. The game is to be freely distributed across the internet.

Pixel advertising is the term given to visual advertisements on the web, which have their cost based on the number of pixels they occupy. Traditionally pixel advertising has been displayed on a static page within the web browser. Pixel Platformer breaks the mold and seamlessly displays pixel advertisements within an online Flash game. Advertisers will have the opportunity to purchase pixels through a payment system integrated directly into the game. Any pixel that is purchased will permanently remain in the game.

Another interesting feature is that Pixel Platformer introduces a new wrinkle to the high score feature. The player that completes the game in the fastest time is rewarded with their own personal winner's pixel. The winner's pixel will display a website (subject to review) of the player's choice. Each week the winner's pixel will be reset. The top player every Sunday night at 12 will be displayed in the winner's pixel for the next week. The winner's pixel is a novel way to recognize the best player.
