Waterpark Simulator is a first-person management simulator. Design, build, and manage your own waterpark. From crazy slides to tasty snacks, every detail is yours to control.

Create custom waterslides, unique pools, themed attractions, and everything else a fun, functional waterpark needs.

Spray your guests with water guns, launch beach balls at their heads, or maybe give a nervous diver a “gentle” push off the board. It’s your park you make the rules!

In the beginning, it’s all on you. From selling tickets, serving food, saving drowning guests, fixing broken slides, cleaning up after visitors, to scooping poop out of the pool. It’s chaotic, hands-on, and all part of running a successful waterpark.

Paint walls and slides, spray custom designs onto any surface, and swap out flooring to set the tone of each area. Add props, signs, and decorations to give your park a personal touch and make every corner feel uniquely yours.

Launch guests into the air, send them flying into pools, or watch them flop helplessly after slipping on a puddle. Ragdoll physics turn every moment into a potential comedy highlight.

Keep your guests happy by setting up food stands and vending machines around your park. Prepare hot dogs, lemonade, ice cream and more!. The better the treats, the happier the visitors.

Everything you do affects your park’s overall rating from how clean it is, to how fun your slides are, to the quality of your food and amenities. The happier your guests are, the better your rating. Keep them satisfied and they’ll stay longer, spend more, and want to come back.

As your park gets more popular, it’s time to expand. Unlock new areas to grow your waterpark’s size and hire staff to handle the daily chaos. With a team in place, you can focus on what really matters: building the best waterpark possible.

Is it a plane? It's falling too fast to be either of those. It's McPixel! A wanna-be hero who keeps getting mixed up in the most unbelievable situations you can imagine.

Levels

One moment you're stuck in a speeding train headed towards the cliff; the other, you're in a falling plane. Sometimes you need to win an impossible-to-win soccer match, and the other, you're a dinosaur trying to hide from a meteorite. Stuck in a flaming house? Sandwiched between two battling armies? Certainly not a problem for McPixel! 100 levels of fast-paced action are waiting for you!

Minigames

Sometimes, the usual adventure style will get interrupted by genre-bending minigames. Ranging from racing, shooting, fighting, and sports to even platforming or FPS! The game offers over 20 minigames scattered around the world of McPixel!

Coins and stamps

McPixel is not all about just saving the day but having fun trying to come up with the craziest possible solutions. And for every solution, you will be rewarded with coins! Find all solutions in a level to get the gold prize and some extra coins! You can use them to unlock new levels! Also, everyone loves coins, right? They're shiny and golden and spinning! No reason not to have some more!

McBurg

The game takes place in the city of McBurg. Explore the city and find different adventures! Some of the paths in the city are blocked and will require you to spend coins to move forward and access new levels! The city will get populated with characters and items from the levels you already visited as you play. You will also be able to don some of the costumes you found while playing.

On the edge of the city upon a grassy hill, you can see a Devolver vault, full of gold, looming over McBurg. So, if you ever need a lot of coins, maybe it's time to pay Fork Parker a visit?

Steve

Sometimes, during your adventures, you will find Steve. Steve can be in the weirdest and most unexpected of places, and finding him will transport you to the Steve level.

Steve is not like McPixel and doesn't specialize in saving the day. He's just some guy, doing stuff. Like fishing, cooking, driving a car, or summoning demons. You know, just the average guy kind of stuff.

McPixel Engine

McPixel 3 runs on 100% software-rendered McPixel Engine, so in the age of unaffordable graphics cards, you can be sure you will be able to run McPixel 3 just fine!

The engine has been written from scratch just for the purpose of running McPixel. That makes the game run smoothly even on the oldest computer, so make sure you install McPixel on your grandma's PC next time you visit! Additionally, that makes the game environment-friendly! McPixel 3 saves the planet (and battery life)!

Key Features:

100 mind-blowing levels
Nearly 1000 hilarious gags to discover
Over 1500 interactive items
Over 20 minigames in all imaginable genres
Over 300,000,000 pixels
Works on your mom's computer
