Games Starring Leonardo da Vinci (Parody)

Sketches, gears and a head full of wings.

Pixel Leonardo carries a sketchbook everywhere, keeps notebooks that nobody else can read and stops in the street to study the way a bird turns in the wind. Every idea he has comes with a little drawing and a lot of gears.

Step into his workshop and expect wood shavings, wet paint and contraptions that work best when you time them perfectly. Patience pays off, and so does a steady hand. Finish a round, admire your score, then start again: a masterpiece is rarely done on the first try.

Parody. Leonardo da Vinci has no involvement in making these games and does not endorse them. The character is an original pixel-art caricature.

About Leonardo da Vinci (Parody)

Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian painter, engineer and inventor of the Renaissance, born in 1452, who filled thousands of notebook pages with sketches of flying machines, gears and the human body. He painted some of the most famous pictures ever made and wrote many of his notes backwards, in mirror writing. This parody turns him into a pixel inventor with ink on his fingers and a new idea on every page.

Eight games bring those notebooks to arcade size: a dash over the rooftops of Florence, a spring-powered cart race through Tuscany, a tower of inventions passing the cathedral dome, a portrait painted one sum at a time, an ornithopter flight, wind-up ducklings in a piazza, cracked plaster knocked off a dining hall wall and sketches paired by candlelight. It is a light-hearted caricature in pixel art and chiptune, not an official project of any museum or foundation.
