It's okay, guys. Pixel is good. You can buy it now.
It's a simple platformer with some minor exploration bits. Namely, if you notice a funky block or pixel somewhere, you can hold L and examine in with your OMINOUS DISEMBODIED MAGNIFYING GLASS and enter a little maze-puzzle-thing through a zoomed-in version of whatever sprite you targeted for rewards. Seems like the "find all of these to complete the game" collectible here is the Useless Relic!
There seems to be a minor control glitch where every now and then the cat won't jump forward, though. It's not too common.
Nothing on how long it is, though. EDIT: Six stages from the continue screen. Still more fun for $3 than i have with some games for $60.

I completed all the stages in Pixel last night - loved it.
The only glitch I encountered was losing all my life and, as the cat was doing his death animation, I used the magnifying glass and jumped into a zoomed-in pixel-maze. It let me stay in the maze for about three seconds before kicking me out and displaying the loading screen. When I came back into the level none of the sprites were animated until I went back into the pixel maze again. It was pretty neat. :-P
Anyway, I recommend giving this a go. Looking forward to searching for the useless relics.
I really wish Indies games had leaderboards. I Maed a Gam3, and now Leave Home, would have way more value for me if high scores weren't just a local thing.
