## Description

Pixel Dilemma is a strategy game built on the Prisoner's Dilemma — the legendary thought experiment about trust, betrayal, and cooperation.

Face off against pixel-art characters, each one a real algorithm modeling a classic game theory paradox or strategy: from the loyal Mirror Knight who mirrors your every move, to the ruthless Extortioner who manipulates the odds in his favor. These aren't generic "AI" — every opponent is a distinct, hand-built strategy with its own logic. Learn how it thinks, predict its next move, and outsmart it — or get outsmarted.

HOW IT WORKS
Each round, you and your opponent choose: Cooperate or Defect. Choose wisely — your score depends not just on your move, but on theirs too. Will you build trust round after round, or strike first before you get betrayed?

FEATURES
• A growing roster of algorithm-driven paradoxes — Tit for Tat, Grim Trigger, Pavlov, Extortion, and more being added over time
• Distinct strategies, distinct logic — no two opponents play alike
• Shadow of the Future mode — endless rounds where every decision echoes forward
• Clean pixel-art presentation with a sharp, focused game loop
• Quick to learn, deep enough to master

WHO IS THIS FOR?
Anyone curious about game theory, decision-making, or classic strategy puzzles. No prior knowledge required — Pixel Dilemma teaches you as you play. Each paradox's algorithm is laid out clearly, so you can study, adapt, and beat it.

Trust is a gamble. Betrayal has a cost. Every round, you decide which one to risk.

Download Pixel Dilemma and find out: are you a cooperator, a defector, or somewhere in between?
