The low-poly racing game, developed by Polish indie developer Pixel Perfect Dude , feels like a love letter to the PlayStation 1 era of rally games, where you could actually name the top drivers and the cars they drove. “Ah Racing portfolio Studio Perfect Pixel Dude, based in the city of Kalisz, Poland, was founded in 2013.

The Art of 2.5D: How It’s Redefining Game Design

Hybrid Animation Techniques Games like Cuphead rely on meticulous, hand-drawn frame-by-frame animations, while Octopath Traveler takes a modern approach, using AI-assisted rendering to apply real-time lighting and physics to pixel art characters. Genres That Thrive in 2.5D isnt just a stylistic choice; it is a strategic advantage.

In a regular coding environment, you might have to check for collisions or if it flew off screen based on the x/y coordinates of the missile in relation to other game objects and move it incrementally as part of your game loop. Each movement command has a timing, how many pixels to move, and how many times to do that movement.

And the way to do that is by altering the collision mask on our block. Now, we haven’t talked about collision masks yet, so let’s do a quick overview of them and we’re going to dive way deeper into them in the next module where we make our space game. You can come in here and you can change the collision mask.

To test it out, select the Player Material and inside the Inspector tab select the Visible Behind Objects shader: This is how the shader looks like when we run the game: Game Object Visible Behind Wall But Pixelated. We’ll use them to determine if the object behind the wall will be pixelated as well as the size of the pixel.

Collision Detection and Game Over. STOS includes three built-in collision detection options. You can also set up collision “zones”, which are rectangular coordinate boxes that you can check the sprite has entered. The final option is to check for the color of the pixel under your sprite hot spot.

Even though the Paddle will take part in the physics system collisions, in the sense that it can move other bodies, its own position is controlled manually. Since we use this, instead of the Transorm component, it will also apply any physics collisions that may need to occur between the starting and ending location of the paddle.

When a game is “published”, the number of pixels rendered, and the aspect ratio used, are determined by the device that the game is running on, such as a television screen, web page, or even mobile device. Any remaining space that appears as a result of mis-matched aspect ratios, will just be left rendering black pixels.

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. I can easily throw ~200 sprites (that all share the same spritesheet) on the screen with basic overlap / collision tests at 720p resolution at a steady 30 FPS. and no WASM.)

This is a screenshot that displays the object-space position of each pixel as the color. That was fixed by reflecting the view-vector with the normal of the current pixel. It halves the resolution of the image until there's only one pixel left. If a collision occurs then the next free spot will be used.
