Saci Pixel

Brazilian folklore, behold, the Saci Pererê comes in pixelated version.

Saci Pixel is inspired by Brazilian culture. Saci is one of the mythical characters of our culture. Full of mysteries, some say it is, others say it is legend.

The fact is that this character is the strongest representative of Brazilian culture. Monteiro Lobato helped strengthen this fenômento since published many books in the last century, and put a strong spotlight on this our hero. Or antihero, as many stories narrate the Saci as a subject evil or treacherous. This helps make your figure more fascinating, reminding other characters as Lampião and Antonio Conselheiro.

Our grandparents told stories of Saci, Curupira, Boitatá, all this was very common in the nineteenth century, but today this figure is dwindling. We are devastated by the culture of Hollywood. Halloween has incredible power on cultures around the world. And is replacing our characters for those who drown us through television.

Saci brings many fascinating features how to tie a horsehair horses, untie braid girls. He has a pipe and if you put a little smoke to him, he leaves you in peace. It is a cultural heritage of quilombos, being black skin is associated with the slave quarters and slavery.

It is remarkable the lack of culture of the Brazilian game developers, who simply copy the model in vogue (medieval kings, dragons and magic swords), it's all beautiful. But it is not something that is consistent with Brazilian culture. "If we want the world to sing, we sing our village," once said Samuel Becket. But what you see in the local production is an investment in techniques for the production of games (game art and game dev) but no emphasis on culture. It is easier to copy what's enough chewed. Just swallow.

This game has the arcade format, remembering the Atari games, MSX and other older consoles. Brings casual style where you can compete with your friends to see who makes the highest score. In this adventure, the Saci is walking across the field, and must dodge holes and rays that every moment is more intense. The more you survive, the harder it is to stay alive. The clouds are your friends, and off the rays like rubber erasing a distance drawn on a sheet of paper.

Arise from Amazon birds that give you special powers such as immortality, or persistent cloud that protects you from the rain rays that are on your way.

The game's setting is inspired by the landscapes of Minas Gerais, with hovels, and a lot of nature as varied trees, palm trees and beautiful rocks that resemble a mountain, a mountain or even a plateau.

It is a tribute to Brazilian popular culture as rich and understudied. His knowledge is in the hands of popular teachers who seek to pass these teachings father to son, doing so with the heritage does not die or fall into oblivion.
