Poxel io

Poxel io opens on a blocky soldier in sunglasses, a Season 4 banner and a big green PLAY button. One click later you spawn on a canal map in Venice with a shield around you, a red team on one side, a blue team on the other and a flag that is already being stolen. Poxel io is a free pixel FPS you play in your browser. You pick a weapon class, drop into a live match with other players and fight for kills, flags and points before the clock runs out.

How It Works

Poxel io is a first person shooter with block style graphics, played in rooms with other players. The top of the screen shows the mode, the map and the server, for example Capture The Flag on Venice on Europe #1. A clock counts down, the team score sits in the middle and a list ranks every player by points. In Capture The Flag, the red and blue teams try to grab the enemy flag and bring it home while guarding their own.

Before a match you choose a class with Change Class. There are 10 of them, each built around one main weapon: a PK 47 rifle, a double barrel shotgun, a sniper rifle, a rocket launcher, an M4A1, a minigun, an MP5, a MAC 10, a bow and a paintball gun. Every class has its own upgrades. In the match your loadout sits in 4 slots: the class weapon, a pistol, a knife and a grenade, except for the paintball class, which plays without a grenade. You start with 100 HP and a short spawn shield, and a dash bar gives you a quick burst of movement. When someone takes you out, the screen shows who it was and which weapon they used.

1. Type a nickname and press PLAY.
2. Open Change Class and pick a weapon class.
3. Spawn with your team and move with W, A, S and D.
4. Aim with the right mouse button and shoot with the left.
5. Chase the enemy flag or the top of the scoreboard, depending on the mode.
6. Finish the round with the best score for your team.

What Makes It Stand Out

• 10 weapon classes: From the PK 47 rifle to a bow, each with its own upgrades.
• Team objectives: Capture The Flag turns a shootout into a race for the enemy flag.
• Dash move: An extra burst of speed on X or Q for quick escapes and pushes.
• Play with friends: Every room has a code, and Invite Friends puts your group in the same match.

Getting Started

• Try a few classes in Poxel io. A shotgun and a sniper rifle play completely differently.
• Use the spawn shield. Move to cover while it is still up instead of standing in the open.
• Aim before you shoot. Right click or E zooms in and makes long shots far more accurate.
• Watch who knocked you out. The screen names the player and the weapon, so you know where the danger is.

Going Further

Poxel io gets deeper once the basics click. The Cosmic Spin on the main menu fills up as you get kills, with 10 kills needed for a spin, and missions and the Poxel Pass add longer goals. The PLAY button on its own puts you in unranked rooms, while logging in unlocks ranked play. The game also warns that leaving a room early loses the PX, gems and mission progress collected there, so finishing the round is worth it. In fights, dash and sprint get you across open ground, and crouching behind crates makes you a smaller target.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

• Running across open lanes. Snipers cover long sight lines on maps like Venice.
• Leaving a room early. The PX, gems and mission progress from that room are lost.
• Reloading in the middle of a duel. Switch to the pistol with 2 when the main weapon runs dry.
• Ignoring the flag. In Capture The Flag, kills alone do not win the round.

Final Thoughts

The Poxel io game is a quick and readable shooter where a match starts in seconds and every class changes how you play. Playing Poxel io online works best on a computer with a mouse and keyboard, and it also opens in mobile browsers on phones and tablets.
