53 / 87 ABSTRACT: Pixel Dash is an educational role-playing game (RPG) developed using Unreal Engine 5, designed by a student team under the Higher Education Institution (IPT) Student Category . It offers a simplified gameplay structure inspired by Genshin Impact , merging entertainment with academic enrichment in a way that is visually engaging and cognitively stimulating. The problem statement focuses on children's declining interest in conventional learning methods, which often lack interactive engagement. Pixel Dash addresses this by providing an immersive digital platform where students can learn while they play, turning passive study into active exploration. The game's learning objective is to improve foundational knowledge in various subjects, reinforce curiosity, and develop problem-solving skills through gamified experiences. Each quest is carefully crafted to align with real-world learning goals, embedding concepts from mathematics, science, and language into gameplay. Core features include: • A quest-based system where educational content is delivered through interactive missions • Adaptive difficulty that matches a child’s progress and understanding • NPC mentors providing guidance and feedback • A unique levelling system based on learning achievements rather than combat The target audience is school-aged children who benefit from playful, curiosity- driven instruction. Pixel Dash is built to be accessible, intuitive, and impactful, delivering learning in a medium that feels natural and enjoyable for a digital-native generation. By seamlessly blending gamification and instructional design, Pixel Dash redefines how education is experienced and sparking engagement through the thrill of exploration.
