What is Isometric Pixel Art?

Finding
IPA is consider to a digital art. Every images can edit to pixel level, which is constructing by each same size square. Although the images will become simplistic, it can still express the detail when we see it in small view. The color of pixel art is playing a important role. It can make the pixel image become more detail, more interesting, more realistic. For example, the dark area, the highlight and the shadow.

Where it can be found?
Normally it can be found in old computer and video games, and mobile phone games.
