A quite marvelous piece of work. [Issue#53, p.104]

Despite being too easy, Axel & Pixel is a treat for all fans of point & click adventures. A short, but sweet journey to a beautifully surreal world. [Dec 2009]

Not quite mind-blowing, but still fun, and I hope to see another adventure or two out of this duo in the near future.

Bizarre, beautiful. [Christmas 2009, p.80]

I had a blast playing Axel & Pixel, but the thrill was short lived. It can be beaten in a day and although the arcade mini-games are worth sticking around for they're not as engrossing as the adventure.

Axel & Pixel may be short, but it grants a feeling not often found in Live Arcade titles; when was the last time you pressed all way through a game because of its charm?

Axel & Pixel is short and easy, and doesn’t really heap on the replay value. However, if you are looking for a fun night with a unique and charming title, then look no further.

A charming and surreal trip into the world of imagination. Axel & Pixel lacks in longevity, but still remains an intriguing "point and click" adventure, with wonderful settings, cute characters and a proven gameplay. Give it a chance, you wont' regret it!

A splendid slice of silliness. [Jan 2010, p.121]

Although some may be put off by the ease with which the game can be completed, I didn't see that as a negative at all. Games of this sort tend to lean towards being esoteric and frustrating as a means of delivering challenge, and in this genre, I'd much rather play something that invites me in and makes me smile rather than something that has me running to the Internet for an FAQ.
