Voxatron

About

Voxatron is a platformer built using voxel graphics, giving it a blocky, retro look. You navigate levels by jumping and shooting, collecting items and solving puzzles. The game runs on a custom engine that mimics old-school hardware, letting players design and share their own games within the system. Controls are straightforward but the challenge ramps up quickly, with tight movement and precise jumps required to progress. The voxel art style stands out, blending pixel art nostalgia with 3D geometry. Community workshops remain active years after release, with user-made levels still circulating. Metacritic gives it 82 based on 2011 reviews, most noting its creative level design and the novelty of building games inside a simulated console. The PC version runs smoothly even on older hardware, making it easy to pick up and play now.
