Princess.Loot.Pixel.Again now available for Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S

Princess.Loot.Pixel.Again is the translation of our team’s bravest ideas in game design: an advanced combat system and random generation that makes the gameplay more interesting and complex.

We wanted to combine our ideas with princesses and dragons in a setting that is traditional for the genre, the classic story about a brave knight. This is the atmosphere we remember from our childhood – the spirit of long-forgotten gaming platforms, each of the games of that time we remember warmly, we have referred to some of them, sometimes obviously.

Establishing a simple and understandable story as the basis of the game gave us the opportunity to focus on the gameplay. We deliberately ditched the current developments in gameplay design in favor of retro and even radically ditched the grind – we added permanent death. The game could have come out earlier, maybe a few years earlier, but we still wanted to make it a little better.

Our idea for the entire development time was shaped by a few lines:

Save the ruler from the clutches of the bloodthirsty dragon!
Win the hand and heart of the princess!
Use a variety of equipment and artifacts!
Dodge enemies and jump over spikes!
Enjoy the pixelated retro styling!
Has it all happened? Do it again

This is the basis of PLPAEvery working day of the team began with these lines, but at some point we got bored with Dragon, it was too banal an antagonist. In the game there is no hint of the seriousness of what is happening, it is not a story about a hero in the usual sense, this is where we will have a lot of fun. It is important to us that the player can enjoy the gameplay.

Although the game has a permanent death mechanic with subsequent random level generation, skill still plays the decisive role, not chance. With every death the player learns from his own mistakes and calculates every step ahead. There is an entire knowledge base about the game mechanics, artifacts, in-game events that you gradually learn and immerse yourself in the game’s universe that we have created.

We would be happy to find like-minded people among console gamers, because the game was originally developed for comfortable gaming on the gamepad.

Princess.Loot.Pixel.Again is a dynamic platformer with the elements of a rogue-lite, a combo system and special movements. The main objective is to clear all floors of the Dark Tower and defeat the main opponent – the evil magician. That won’t be easy, because after the main character’s permadeath, the castle floor plan is automatically redesigned. Whether you succeed or not depends primarily on your skills, not random events. The player gradually gets to know game mechanics, learns the effects of artifacts, objects, skills, the behavior of enemies and bosses. This is at the core of the gameplay – the player gets better mainly by learning from their mistakes and improving their skills, not by leveling up their character. Plot The story begins with a young man who falls in love with the king’s daughter and dares to ask the ruler for his daughter’s hand. But a commoner is not up to her, so the king sends for the executioner to have him beheaded. At this moment the evil magician breaks into the castle and kidnaps the king. Our fearless hero rushes to the villain’s hideout to defeat him and prove he is worthy of the king’s blessings. The castle halls diverge in certain places, which means that the player has to make important decisions. The game has multiple endings depending on how often you complete it and which paths you choose.
