Pixel art is a form of digital art, it is where images are created using the pixels that make it up, it was mostly used in old games where the processing power was extremely low.

It is based off of much older forms of art such as mosaic, cross-stitch and bead work and when combined will resemble an image of varying quality. There are generally two categories of pixel art, Isometric and non-isometric. Isometric is where an image created with pixels can be perceived as 3D while non-isometric is a flat 2D image like the one above.

Some people use pixel art to create a nostalgic/retro feel to their game while others use it because it is simply an easy form of art and some use it because they believe it looks visually pleasing.
