── CONTROLS ──

Keyboard:  W A S D or arrow keys — hold two for a diagonal

Touch:     the d-pad and buttons on the handheld are real — this works on a phone.

Four flies. One picnic. A lot of spiders.

PIXL SQUAD is a squad-tactics game in the Cannon Fodder tradition, wrapped in a chunky 1990s

handheld that never existed. You drive one fly and the other three follow. Forty-eight

missions across six zones, all seeded — everyone's mission 27 is the same map.

── NOBODY DIES IN THIS GAME ──

Not one thing in it is killed. Spiders get spat at, peppered, jammed and trapped, and they

run off. Your flies get WEBBED — and a webbed fly is not a lost fly. It is a fly hanging

somewhere on the board, waiting for the rest of you to come and cut it down.

Whether you go back for them, and what it costs to try, is the whole game.

── YOUR SQUAD IS PEOPLE, NOT UNITS ──

Every fly is named. They earn ranks, LARVA up to GENERAL, and rank makes them faster and

quicker on the draw. Some become specialists: a BOMBER, a SNIPPER, a SCOUT. Lose one and

they go on THE WEB with the mission number they were taken on, and the game remembers. One

of you getting home is still a win. You will feel the other three.

── SIX ZONES, EACH WITH ITS OWN PROBLEM ──

• THE BLANKET — where you learn the job

• THE COOL BOX — ice you slide on, shade that slows your spit

• THE JAM FIELDS — jam that holds you where you stand

• THE BIN — no light. You see only what is close, unless somebody carries the glow grub

• THE ROCK POOL — a tide on a clock, and spiders that can swim

• THE PANTRY — everything at once, and the ones you lost are down there

── WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO ──

• Drive one fly and the squad follows — or SPLIT them and hold two places at once

• Spit, or hold to aim a long shot

• DIG IN for range and a steadier aim, at the cost of being able to run

• Pepper bombs, rushes, bubbles and sticky traps laid on the ground

• Nine kinds of job: haul the sugar, clear the nest, hold the line, snip the web, raid the

  den, bring your people home
