PixFight is kind of a fighting game (or maybe it's a PvP shooter?). Players need to gather resources, which allows them to build platforms, stairs, defense blocks, and mainly, to shoot each other. 

This is a NES demake of the game I coded in QBasic as a kid between 1997 and 2001, on a very old AT 286; my siblings and I played the original game a lot at that time. It's named PixFight because I used to call those ASCII smile faces "pixies" whenever I used them in my games.

The original PixFight had 18 different "characters"/"powers" but for now only the first one was implemented: an arrow that creates a solid block when it hits. PixFight has a rule that whenever a player is stuck their health is drained (the defense block can be used to escape such situations).

Controls

• D-Pad: Move around
  • You can move against fragile blocks to break them
• B: Jump
• A:  Use the currently select ability
  • Platform: creates a short platform below and in front of you (must have space)
  • Stairs: create some steps in front of you
  • Block:  explodes around you; empty spaces become fragile blocks, but fragile blocks around you become less fragile.
  • Power: shoots using your power (currently only the binding arrow is implemented)
• Select: changes the current ability
