How it feels

A frantic pixel-art side-scrolling shooter where you blast through procedurally generated zombie hordes with hundreds of weapons, searching for supplies and trading to survive.

What players say

Players praise Dead Pixels as an addicting retro zombie shooter with satisfying mechanics, but many find it brutally hard and grindy. Some note the backgrounds become repetitive, and a few criticize the awkward co-op setup. Longtime fans are disappointed that the sequel was canceled.
