About Pixelum
Pixelum is a sandbox survival game where every pixel is interactive and physically simulated across a fully destructible 2D world. Build, craft, and survive in procedurally generated biomes with dynamic environments, all built on a custom engine that treats pixels as functional game elements rather than just graphics.
Features at the moment
Based on a handcrafted C++ engine, Pixelum offers you unlimited possibilities such as vast world canvas and advanced physics. Here, pixels are not just about the graphics - every pixel in a special multilayered canvas has its own function and can be interacted in one way or another.
Pushing forward the 2D survival sandbox genre, Pixelum brings you deeper immersion with game environment.
Survive as long as you can in Survival mode.
- A procedurally generated 2D world
- Particle and rigid body physics
- Multilayered pixel canvas
- Fully destructible terrain
- 3 Biomes (forest, arctic, desert)
- Crafting and building
- Skills and Levels
- NPCs
- FMOD sound system with reverb, ray-tracing and spatial attenuation
- Dynamic environment with day-night cycles.
This list will get longer over time, because I have got tons of different ideas on which we are working really hard at the moment.

It’s experimental, it’s unique, and it’s fun2 found this helpful
Pixelum takes the familiar idea of a 2D survival sandbox and gives it a more experimental identity by making the individual pixels of its world an important part of the simulation. Developed and published by ZXC Games, it combines exploration, survival, crafting, construction, combat, procedural generation, and physics into a game that feels more interested in player experimentation than following a tightly controlled adventure. Its presentation may initially appear simple, but underneath the pixel graphics is a surprisingly ambitious collection of interconnected systems. The most distinctive element is the destructible environment. Pixelum does not treat its pixel aesthetic as decoration alone, since the terrain is designed to be manipulated as part of normal gameplay. Players can dig through the landscape, excavate materials, destroy sections of the environment, and reshape areas according to their needs. Particle and rigid-body physics help make these interactions more dynamic. Digging therefore feels like more than removing standardized blocks from a grid, especially when the physical behavior of objects and materials begins affecting what happens around the player.

very good game.1 found this helpful
It is definitely something to be worked on. Rather similar to terraria, however just simply worse mechanics and a buggy game in general I will recommend it as literally nobody has ever played this game, so yeah. like a 5/10 possible to play i think.1 found this helpful
The world is monotonous, the controls are inconvenient, and features like physics and survival are not fully developed.
Игра Pixelum — это настоящее погружение в мир ретро-пиксельной графики, где каждый пиксель продуман до мелочей. С первых минут она окутывает атмосферой старой школы, напоминая о временах, когда игры были простыми, но чертовски увлекательными. Управление отзывчивое, а механики, хоть и не блещут новизной, выполнены на высочайшем уровне. Поначалу может показаться, что это очередной клон, но стоит провести в Pixelum пару часов, и становится ясно — здесь есть душа. Сюжет, хоть и не самый оригинальный, подается интересно, а персонажи вызывают симпатию. Особо радует музыкальное сопровождение — оно идеально дополняет визуальный ряд и создает неповторимое настроение. Если вы цените ностальгию, любите сложные, но честные испытания и не против провести вечер, вспоминая золотую эру видеоигр, то Pixelum — это то, что вам нужно. Эта игра — глоток свежего воздуха для тех, кто устал от однотипных AAA-проектов.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.
