Press reviews: “The color mechanic really adds something original to the genre and it's by far one of the better, if not the best, retro-inspired shooter we played in a while.” 8.5/10 – GamingBoulevard “pixelBOT EXTREME! is a very addictive ‘one more go’ retro-inspired shoot ’em up with a colourful twist. Despite the game making me rather frustrated and constantly in a panic, I found that I couldn’t stop playing it due to being determined to make it to the end and cross the flag, even if it meant bypassing most of the collectables.” 8.0/10 – GamePitt “PixelBot Extreme! ist ein sehr unterhaltsames Arcade-Shoot'em-Up, das vor allem durch seinen wohl durchdachten Koop-Modus glänzt. Trotz des harten Schwierigkeitsgrades fesselt das Spiel sehr durch seine Level-Designs und den Willen die Herausforderung zu meistern.” 8/10 – PlayFront
