Pixel Canyon

Fly fast. Graze* danger. Survive the shift.

Can you conquer the infinite canyon and save Pixel Nation? 

Pixel Canyon is a nostalgia-fueled, horizontal shooter that pushes your reflexes to the limit. It’s not just about shooting—it’s about  risk, and adaptation. The further you fly, the more the world changes around you.

Why you should play:

  • Survive past the 500-meter mark, and watch the game transform. The visual fidelity "pumps up" the deeper you go, shifting biomes and intensifying the atmosphere.
  • Running low on energy? You have to get dangerous. Fly razor-close to obstacles and terrain to siphon fuel and energy. The closer you are to death, the longer you stay alive.
  • No two runs are the same. Adapt to a constantly shifting canyon, break through bridges, and face unpredictable enemy waves.
  • Expect punishing bosses, hidden mechanics to discover, and a high-score chase that will test your grit.

Pixel graphic at its finest. 

 There are some nice mechanics in this that I'm kind of proud of:

  • biomes shifts, 
  • fuel and energy gathering, 
  • different types of weapons, 
  • grazing*, 
  • boss fights, 
  • some story mode stuff. 

The game is difficult, but so is life...
