Puzzling pixel worlds gone crazy! Tilt your iPhone to explore eBoy’s mind-boggling art and find the right angle to solve the puzzle. There are 180 hand-crafted levels in this game with slow increasing difficulty. Lots of them have a 3D effect, others are layered compositions or sliced madness.

Playing the game is addictive and couldn’t be simpler. The challenge is finding the hints that lead to the solution. eBoy’s images look crisper than ever before on the iPhone’s great scree and on the iPad the pixels are even chunkier.

For the new "expanded" version of the game we massively expanded the pixel art puzzles - from the iPhone 3 to the iPhone X aspect ratio (320x480 points to 320x812 points) which means 70% more pixels per puzzle! The puzzles are now organised in packs of 10 and there is a new level selection scene in which you drive a bus through a pixel art city from station to station which adds a lot of fun. Additionally we have a new hard mode that unlocks once you have solved all levels. It messes with the tilt behaviour and adds visual effects to the puzzle layers.

Pros and cons of eBoy FixPix app for iPhone and iPad

eBoy FixPix app good for

Great game in my book, however its a bit short. And i am eagerly waiting for The ios4 fix, cause i paid up front and i have The right to play. hell should be fixed by now.

Can you please add a mode where we can go back and just view the pictures that have been "solved"? It seems such a waste to only catch a glimpse .... Being able to pinch / zoom etc. would help see the subtler details of this great art. Thanks!

Love the game, love the artwork! Only issue I can see: Theres no way to go back to play the previous puzzles. Coming in an update maybe?

Loved the look and unique game play until I got to puzzle 98 (some big gray machine thing on a street beside water). Im fairly certain this puzzle is broken because there is no way to make it work, been trying for an hour.

Love the game, original, addicting, but a little short. The art is fantastic and my productivity was in the hole today at work because of this. For 1.99 i hope some updates come, possibly being able to select levels, view the artwork (not just after being done the puzzle). Also other game modes, like a "wheres waldo" type thing, or a puzzle mode where you have to organize the peices (layers) to get a picture with you finger. Great job nonetheless

I dont feel like I was ripped off because the art was cool and the "gameplay" was simple and fun. Needs more levels, needs more something. An actual menu or level select would be great, OR drop the price. Good stuff though, I recommend checking it out!

Some bad moments

Dont buy this keep the two bucks and give it to a homeless Guy you Will save thé trouble of wanting to hit yhe Guy who created this app.,,, people need to vote this game down because right now thé rating is ridiculous and misleading.. Good Job of rating ur own game thiefs!! Give me back my 2$

got to about level 20 and stopped playing. next time i wanted to play it i started it up, tilted the title screen, it said loading then it just stopped and went back to my homescreen. retried it a few times and always the same. thought it was maybe my phone but i upgraded to a iphone4 today and still the same problem. yes i have downloaded the latest updates. too bad cuz it was a neat little game. id give it a 4 if it still worked.

game worked fine until I exited app. Now it takes me to title screen and the freaks out and shuts down. Everytime. Please fix.

This game was amazing until the latest update. It keeps crashing at start up and it wont let me play. Quite a disappointment :(

Wow. Really? I cleared all 175 pics, and I got the option of doing it again or clicking the home button, which has nothing new unlocked which means... I get to do it all over again. I might be more excited about that prospect if the tilt controls werent mandatory. Swiping wouldve worked for those who chose to play lying down. Regardless, sitting up or lying down there is no option to recalibrate. So, the control scheme is both lazy and obsolete. Im disappointed with the lack of any development effort here. Great art, but what else? At what price? No option to scroll through beaten art. Nothing. Its an endless loop of awkward device poses. I wish I had my dollar back. PLAY THE FREE VERSION AND NOTHING MORE. youve been warned.

Crashes the instant the app is opened. Ive tried rebooting my phone and reinstalling the app to no avail. (iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1) Try making a playable app.
