#8DaysOfPixelFeature - Day 8: Laboratory X-29
Laboratory X-29 is a sci-fi roguelite-like top-down shooter, where the protagonist takes his chances to escape from the Lab after an accident. Shoot your way out to freedom, clear rooms full of other dangerous experiments, find out the secrets hidden in this place and eat chicken to survive.
Escape a procedurally generated laboratory, where every attempt is different. Each new room you enter will be full of dangerous experiments that you have to fight back and survive.

Find out the secrets hidden in this strange place. What kind of experiments were conducted here? What kind of creatures were created?
And increase your chances of getting out of the Lab with every piece of knowledge you collect.
After a recent accident, it seems that even the matter of the world has thinned and now you can meet characters from other universes! Who knows, maybe they will give you something useful.
Now the air of the lab is poisoned with a toxin and you lose your health every second. Luckily, you have found a fried chicken, which is part of experiments too.
Eating it restores your health, BUT you will have to face unpredictable side effects.
Good luck on your run through Laboratory X-29!

Kickstarter Pixel Art Round Up - Fables of Talumos and Medieval Shopkeeper Simulator
We're bringing everyone some sweet Kickstarter goodness for May!
FABLES OF TALUMOS
Now, the retro game ingenuity keeps getting better every month, and there's always a lot of action and excitement for everyone. The titles over on Kickstarter are no different. This time we're going full-on sword and board, medieval fantasy style, but it's not quite what you'd expect. Fables of Talumos is a top-down retro-style action-adventure game set in a unique fantasy world, complete with magic monsters and a whole lot of exploration.
Dan Beckerton takes inspiration from his experiences with the Zelda franchise, Warcraft III, and, surprise, surprise, Dark Souls. Talomus is a colorful place breathing with life, courtesy of its four distinct races. The Hetonians are your good old human race; the Skogen is a race of deer-like humanoids with a strong affinity for nature; the Forlorn is cursed dragon-born humanoids brought to life by evil sorcery, and the Fallen are the undead hordes that seek revenge on everything that breathes freaky. You'll follow the story of an adventurer named Oskar as he travels through the moonlight realm to save his wife from an ominous disaster.
Really cranking up the “follow your dreams” quote to the extreme now, are we? Fables of Talumos is definitely worth checking out if you're a diehard retro epic fantasy fanatic.
MEDIEVAL SHOPKEEPER SIMULATOR
Adventuring is nice, but there are safer ways to make a living in the old-timey days of yore. Breakfast Studios got you covered with Medieval Shopkeeper Simulator, and no joke, it's literally what the title says. It's all in first-person, and it's up to you to do all the medieval shopkeeping things like crafting, buying and selling, franchising your medieval shops, and dabbling in a little bit of magic. No medieval game would be complete without a bit of arcane now, wouldn't it?
The low-poly style adds a bit of charm to the game's world, and while you won't be venturing far and wide, you won't be stuck behind a shopkeep’s table either. There's a lot to do and very little time in the kingdom, and Medieval Shopkeeper Simulator looks to keep you busy if you're up to the challenge. So which medieval epic adventure do you choose? Go out and save the world? Or chill a bit and let the coin flow? Whatever path you take, just make sure you have fun on your journey!
