About Pixel Darts: From Pub to Glory
Pub Darts with the Soul of a 90s Arcade Game.
This is what happens when a cozy English pub and a 90s arcade game have a kid together.
Rival portraits. Dramatic VS screens. Big-score flashes. Crowd pressure. Nicknames that should be illegal. And that one little voice in your head saying: "Just one more leg."
Wrapped around it all: a warm local, a throw you'll have down in thirty seconds, and a career built on finishing something your father never could.
Climb the Worldwide Leaderboard.
Play Arcade mode, have every run scored like in old-school arcade games, and climb the worldwide Steam leaderboard. A quiet pub leg becomes a global fight for the top spot! And you can see exactly whose score you have to beat. Even a lost match still scores points: a clean defeat can outrank a hard-fought win.
In the free demo you can jump straight into the global Arcade leaderboard. Everything else awaits in the full game.
Get ON FIRE. Hit the 180!
Land a few big visits in a row and you go ON FIRE: the board lights up, the crowd goes wild, and your game gets noticeably better, because you're ON FIRE!
And when three darts fly into the treble 20 and a 180 lights up on the scoreboard, the whole room wakes up. There are dedicated animations for 140+, 160+, and the 170 checkout too. Each one feels like its own little victory.
Easy to Learn, but Challenging to Master!
Aim. Pull back. Throw. Release.
That's it. The throw is deliberately kept simple, but every throw still needs timing, drift, pressure, release quality - and gives off that quiet sting when you miss the double by just three pixels.
A relaxed leg turns into a nail-biter. One bad throw throws away a whole match. One perfect dart gets the whole crowd going. You'll know the feeling.
You Inherit a Pub! Finish What Your Father Started.
Your father left you "The Lazy Trout".
It's a warm, slightly crooked English pub with loyal regulars, unpaid bills, and an upstairs office full of things that raise more questions than they answer. Old scorecards. Practice recordings. A few scattered darts trophies from your late father.
As you climb from local hopeful to bigger stages, the pub changes around you. Familiar faces react differently and old rivalries come back, because the Garrison family - who own a pub chain - will do everything to stop your rise to fame and glory in darts heaven. The three members of the Garrison family are the boss fights in Career mode, each with their own individual fight! All in the style of classic 90s arcade games!
It's a darts story about grief, inheritance, and the slow realization that what you were trying to prove was always there inside you.
501, Cricket, Shanghai, and Bermuda
Play whatever you're in the mood for.
Classic X01 in 301, 501, and 701 (with Double In, Double Out, and best-of formats). Cricket for a more tactical game. Shanghai to practice the double and treble beds. Bermuda when you want something with more bite than another straight 501 leg.
Play a quick round before bed, or settle in on the couch for long sessions - to climb the global leaderboard, or to live through the story around the English pub "The Lazy Trout" in Career mode.
Build Your Own League
Want to start your own darts season completely from scratch?
The standalone League mode lets you set up your own season. Here you can define your own players, venues, rules, tables, and matchdays. Build a custom circuit, follow the table week by week, and watch real rivalries form over a whole season.
72 Opponents with Individual Traits!
Every rival has their own portrait; some have their own throwing traits, their own rhythm, trash talk, and characteristics.
Some stay ice-cold under pressure. Some play to the crowd. Some never stop talking. Some seem harmless until they hit the treble 20 like clockwork. You'll get to know them - and still be surprised later on.

What a cracking little darts game! No gimmicks here, just a straight up game of darts where you can play 301, 501, 701, Cricket, Shanghai or Bermuda. There are different venues to play in, loads of distinct characters to play with varying skill levels and plenty of darts with different stats to choose from. The game has a straightforward tutorial to get you started and have a practise, with the option to play with mouse or controller. Basically flick up to throw, and the speed and how well you can keep your aim straight dictates the flight of the dart. I found controller a little more forgiving than mouse, but both work well. Navigating the screens with pad can be a little frustrating at times, and it isn't always obvious or logical how to move the focus to a certain element of the screen, but this is only a minor niggle. Steam Deck also works well here, with the touchscreen making navigating the various screens even easier. However there doesn't appear to be any cloud save support as yet, so your career mode or league saves are only local to each device as it stands. Players and darts have various stats with: Steady Hand, Focus, Aero, Nerve Control & Recovery. I won't go in…3 found this helpful
Classic game layout, harder than one should think so great to have fun with. For the nights when you are not at the oche, you can still play some darts and train checkout-routes in the game. Great fun for all2 found this helpful
This game deserves waaaay more love than it gets! It’s fun, addictive, has a great soundtrack and an awesome vibe, and shows TONS of potential. Mr. Dev, you’ve done a fantastic job! I’m keeping my fingers crossed and can’t wait to see what you cook for us in the future! You have my [strike]sword[/strike] support.2 found this helpful

Honestly, I'm really enjoying playing this. I'm only playing the career mode as I like a story to go with my gameplay, and so far it's a pretty decent story. The gameplay is definitely arcadey and certainly not easy, but that might be a skill issue on my part. Regardless, I'm enjoying the game and will keep playing for now, hoping to eventually reach the pro ranks. Well worth checking out if you want a well done darts game.2 found this helpful
Although the game looks like a simple arcade like dart game it is surprisingly in-depth and challenging, and the controls are actually well adapted. The career mode has a cool story and you can set up your own league using various dart games and rules. I highly recommend this game to all dart enthusiasts.2 found this helpful
