About

Pixel Galaxy is a single player and multiplayer arcade shooter game. It was developed by Serenity Forge and was released on October 2, 2015. It received positive reviews from critics and mostly positive reviews from players.

In this non-shooting shoot 'em up, you are a single white pixel who can absorb the bodies, abilities, and weapons of every enemy pixel you collect. It's up to you to stay either a small and nimble ship, or turn large and powerful. Just remember: protect your core white pixel, because every mistake could be your last.

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in Pixel Galaxy is a mixed experience; while some players appreciate its simple mechanics and fast-paced, dynamic action, others find the difficulty spikes and chaotic enemy patterns frustrating, making it hard to maintain ship formations.

    • “Pixel Galaxy is a fun game with dynamic gameplay and a solid design.”
    • “The flow of gameplay is just not fun (in my opinion, could differ for others) because you try to build a ship of all these parts, but the layouts of 'waves' make it impossible to keep them, and to try and retrieve some blocks, it feels like I'm just running directly into bullets and hoping I reach it before the core dies.”
    • “The main problem with Pixel Galaxy is not with its core mechanic of building a central 'ship' of squares, it's actually with its frantic procedurally designed onslaught of enemies.”
    • “The sheer velocity of these projectiles does not complement the mechanic of building a formation of pixels, because as soon as the group grows in size, it's immediately destroyed thanks to unavoidable bullets.”
