The guide

Overview

Pixel Protocol is a fast low-poly team arena shooter in your browser. Pick a map, set the difficulty and the number of allies and enemies, then fight bots in quick 4v4 matches. Choose between three blasters, dash and use your shield to stay alive. Three arenas: Container Yard, Blackwood Depot and Skybridge. Earn credits, level up, complete daily challenges and unlock free cosmetic items in the store.

Every wave is a question of what to shoot first. Shooting games layer enemies with different speeds, sizes and attack patterns, and the skill is in sorting them under pressure. Early rounds are generous with time. Later rounds are not. Ammo, health and the occasional power-up give you resources to manage alongside your aim. Sessions end when the screen gets too busy, and you restart knowing a little more.

How to play

1Read the controls, then fire a few test shots to learn the range and spread of your weapon.
2Pick off fast, small enemies first. They reach you quickest and are easiest to lose track of.
3Reposition between waves if the game allows movement; standing in the same spot makes you predictable.
4Save bombs or special attacks for emergencies when you are about to take damage.
