Our new game is really coming along now.

We are in full testing mode as you can see from this screenshot from the game in GameMaker.

Testing is going great with all our tools for testing all the games features like challenge/reward badges, weapon editor and monster attributes.

We are confident we will be releasing the game on Steam this year...

Keep checking back on our page for future updates and possible release dates on multiple systems.

If you love those old school retro shooters then you will love Defuzer!

Small update for people. New game is really coming along. We're in the process at the moment of completing the core gameplay elements.

Looking to launch the game on the Steam store this year so people can see what we've been working on.

If you love old school arcade shooting games like Robotron and Smash TV then you'll love this one.

It's all about being the best player and topping the hi-score table. We did say old school .. 👍😀

We are currently working on a new retro game which will be launched on Steam.

Run around shooter, disarming stuff, dodging stuff, progression heavy and that old school arcade feel.

More to follow, early days but very excited on this one!

We have began work again on Knights of the Celestial Sky after a long break from its development.

We are in the process of creating a demo which will feature the first of many worlds our hero will encounter as he tries to unravel the mysteries of the fall of the other knights.

Keep subscribed to our social media channel for more update as the development rolls out.

Thank you for your continued support as it means a lot to us as a small indie game studio.

Old school game needs old school graphics, so our graphic guru created these cool icons for the map/level editor.

Here is the Save level icon he created.

Rift Racer is going to be a great super scaler arcade homage and can't wait to show you more soon.

To make Rift Racer easier to develop, we have a game editor which allows us to create both levels and drop in assets with adjustable variables.

Making games should be fun and not hard work.

Hello all our followers :)

We have taken the decision to remove all our games from the Apple Store due to sales being not as we expected and as there is a hefty price to be an Apple Developer.

We have removed all our mobile apps of the Apple store to concentrate more on investing money into our PC project 'Rift Racer'

You can still download all our mobile apps from the Google Play store from our home page here;

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Pixel+Playbox

Mr Gunboat, Tower Stax, Pumpkin Mania & Star World are all available to download.

We would love to hear what you think of our games and of course you can contact us directly on our website.
