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.

Backline: the necromancer and his skeletons fight angry villagers Play free now

Experiment #002

A mazing Game: The Groundskeeper with his lantern, just around the corner In development

A MAZING GAME

  • Roguelike
  • New maze every run
  • Secrets everywhere

Experiment #003

Roguee: A lantern-lit town square, the knight in the middle of a horde In development

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.

  • Survivors-like
  • 15-minute runs
  • Hordes & traps
  • Build synergies

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.
