A new indie game studio

Tiny games.
Big experiments.

We're PixelScientists. We cook up small pixel-art games you learn in a minute and can't put down for an hour.

Experiment #001

BACKLINE

Heroes get the glory. You stand at the back. As the necromancer, you raise fallen enemies, keep your skeleton army alive and push through a village, a chapel and a castle full of very angry people.

A-mazing Game: a hedge maze at dusk, the Groundskeeper with his lantern just around the corner

In development

Experiment #002

A-MAZING GAME

A first-person maze crawler. Every run is a fresh labyrinth of hedges, crypts and castle halls, full of keys, secret rooms and treasure. Take your time, but listen for the bell: on the third toll, the Groundskeeper comes looking for you.

Roguee: a lantern-lit town square at night, the hero in the middle of a huge horde

In development

Experiment #003

ROGUEE

A survivors-like in a foggy, lantern-lit old Europe. Your weapons fire on their own and the horde keeps growing, but the best loot is out on the map: shrines that weaken the boss, vaults behind elite keys, and traps that shred enemies as happily as you.

How the lab works

Coffee-break sized

Every run fits in a few minutes. Every session ends with "just one more".

One idea, done right

Each game is built around a single twist. We polish it until it's fun, then ship.

Pixel by pixel

Crisp pixel art, juicy effects and fair prices. No ads, no pay-to-win.
