About This Game

SAVE YOUR PIXEL ART.

A roguelite survival game inside a 1995 paint program.

Your favorite pixel art app got invaded. Waves of dots crawl in from the edges of the screen toward your core, a small gold square on your canvas. You paint with ink. Every pixel you place is a wall, and some of them do much more. Hold a wave, pick one of three rewards, paint again. Hold long enough and you find a floppy disk: the only way to save your drawing. When the core falls, everything you did not save is gone.

EVERY PIXEL IS A MATERIAL.

• 28 colors from the 1995 palette. Each one is a plain wall
  
• 1,024 textures: 26 materials, 33 effects, 5 rarities
  
• Fire spreads. Forests grow, then burn. Water flows and drowns dots
  
• Lava burns everything, until water turns it to stone
  
• Light lures dots like moths. Sand slows them down. Thorns bite
  
• Effects stack: Explosive, Gilded, Mending, Magnetic, Volcanic, Hungry...

START WITH BLACK. END WITH 64.

• Each run starts with one color, four palette slots and no eraser
  
• Hold a wave: earn ink, then pick one card out of three
  
• Cards bring colors, textures, slots, the eraser, bigger brushes, more ink
  
• Your palette grows to 64 slots. Rarer textures show up in later waves
  
• Hover any texture: it tells you what it does

THEY COME FROM THE EDGES. MORE EVERY TIME.

• Endless waves, each one 22 % bigger than the last
  
• Up to four entry points, up to 262,144 dots at once, simulated on your GPU
  
• Crowds push on your pixels until they crack
  
• A wave lasts about fifteen seconds. A run lasts until your core falls

SAVING IS A REWARD.

• Floppy disks at waves 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50
  
• One floppy, one save: a PNG in My Pictures
  
• Seven ranks, from Sketch to Immortal, set by the wave you saved at
  
• Your artist level climbs with your best save. 21 in-game achievements
  
• Export any run as a GIF. The Gallery keeps your runs and their pictures

GAME OVER IS A BLUE SCREEN.

• The core falls, the computer crashes, the clock shows how long you held
  
• Press G to keep the replay as a GIF. Any other key starts a new run

HONEST BRIEFING

• Windows only. Mouse required
  
• English only, and there is almost nothing to read
  
• No sound, no music. The silence is on purpose
  
• Single player, offline
  
• Every dot was drawn by hand and raised under my armpit. It took time
