Pixel Hypnosis

Inspired by Snigglegros's review of Souldiers, this is a list of indie games with attractive pixel art but middling to bad gameplay. I also get baited by a lot of these and probably have a ton of them on my wishlist, and really liked the term so I decided to make a list. Open to suggestions, I'll add stuff I haven't played that others feel this way about, so long as it's not something I've played where I disagree and do like it.

thank you for relating to this feeling, i was kind of thinking maybe I was just making up something. I definitely agree with Chasm. I have some other games that would fit, even if I did like them enough to beat them, could not be the case for others.
