Lovably odd adventure game McPixel 3 is coming to PC and likely on mobile this year, bringing back the 8-bit hero as he tries to save the world in his own way. Created by indie dev and so-called "Mad Scientist of Video Games" Sos Sosowski, the pixel art game features its trademark hilarious gags and mind-blowing shenanigans across a hundred levels.

In McPixel 3, players take on the massive responsibility of saving the world as the titular hero. Each new quest is as mind-blowing as the last, as McPixel will apparently find himself in crazy situations like "summoning a spider-billionaire, having a BBQ in his pants, punching a T-Rex into outer space, peeing on sports cars and kicking Fork Parker in the balls."

With more than 900 gags and almost 1,500 interactive items for players to tinker around with, the game will also feature a water level, mini-games in a wide variety of genres, and - apparently - 258,924,600 pixels.
