Hello World: a developer story

ABOUT THIS GAME

He's building it. You're playing it. Pixel's just trying to survive!

Welcome to Hello World, a unique Narrative Physical Adventure where the lines between player, character, and creator hilariously blur. Step into a world that begins as a blank canvas and evolves before your very eyes, all under the often chaotic, always witty, live narration of 'The Dev' – your guide, your biggest obstacle, and the mastermind behind your adventures!

In Hello World, you control Pixel, a humble dark square with expressive white eyes. Navigate through levels constructed in real-time by The Dev, mastering foundational platforming and directly interacting with the unique physical elements of the environment. Push, pull, stack, and manipulate in-game objects as The Dev introduces them, using your wits and Pixel's emerging abilities to solve challenges.

Enjoy a constantly evolving experience as your very actions seem to inspire (or confound!) your game's creator. You'll need to adapt quickly as The Dev introduces new game mechanics and physical objects on the fly, sometimes with unexpected and amusing results.
