Gameplay

McPixel 3 is a point and click adventure game centered around the titular pixelated character McPixel, a parody of MacGyver,[1] who is tasked with the objective of "saving the day" by using objects and finding solutions in the environment around them. As in the previous game, puzzle solutions are often absurdist and nonsensical, forcing the player to interact with and combine objects using trial and error to see what happens. McPixel interacts with most objects and people by kicking them, which can be either helpful or a problem depending on the situation.[2]

Similar to its prequel, there are 100 timed levels to complete with over 20 microgames, more than 900 gags, and 1,500 interactive items for players to experience.[3]

Development and release

McPixel 3 was officially announced via Twitter by Devolver Digital on 17 February 2022, with a release date set for 2022.[4]

Although the game is titled as the third installment of the series, it is a direct sequel to 2012's McPixel as there is no second numbered title developed by Sos Sosowski.[5]

The first playable demo of McPixel 3 was a part of Steam Next Fest on 21 February 2022,[6] which featured 10 out of the 100 levels that are offered in the game for players to experience.

The game was released on 14 November 2022.[7]
