The Pixel Gun Game By Julio S. Maybe all of you, already, know the game Pixel Gun 3D. I play that game, it's kind of a horror game but its graphics are like MinecraA graphics, so it's not scary but it can be surprising at Bmes. First I am going to tell you how the game works. You start with many categories: ‘primary,’ then comes ‘back up,’ ‘melee,’ (that one is bloody), but then comes ‘special’ and last comes ‘premium’ and that’s all the weapon You can play the game on an iPad or other tablet. 1
