The PIXELJAM COMPLETE Megabundle + DLC Supporter Packs Are Live

Hello all,

Yesterday we launched PIXELJAM COMPLETE, a massive collection that brings together 14 years of our creative output in a single bundle.




  • 20+ games & soundtracks
  • Prototypes & alphas from projects we never finished
  • Wallpapers, design sketches, art, gifs, comics, music & more


You can find it here: pixeljam.itch.io/pixeljam-complete

In tandem with this bundle, we are also rolling out "supporter packs" for each of our games on Steam, that contain sketches, concept art, gifs, wallpapers & soundtracks:

(click each game for its supporter pack)

Cheap Golf
Potatoman Seeks The Troof
Glorkian Warrior
Last Horizon
Dino Run DX
Gamma Bros (Launches Oct 21)
Snowball! (Launches Oct 21)

If you just want the goodies for 1 or 2 of our games, the Steam DLC's are the way to go. However, each of them are only about 1% of the total contents of the Pixeljam Complete bundle, which is overall a much better value.

Also, if you'd like to help boost our launch signal, click here.

Thanks for the ongoing support!

Pixeljam Presents NOVA DRIFT - A Deep ARPG-SHMUP

Hello all,

We're excited to announce that after almost 5 years in development, NOVA DRIFT is ready for the world to play:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/858210/Nova_Drift/

(Click anywhere that's NOT the 'add to cart' button for more info on the game)

It's an ARPG-Styled space brawler with tons of customization options, depth and polish. Kind of like Asteroids meets Path of Exile...

We hope you love it!

We're excited to announce the launch of our latest original game, CHEAP GOLF:

It just left Early Access, and is currently 20% off this week.

If you are feeling super awesome and would like to help us get the word out, please consider retweeting this:

Update - Version 1.01 Now Live

Hello all,

Just a quick note to say that we updated Bitku to version 1.01 today. Here are the changes:

- Fixed a bug that deletes objects when you press delete while editing text
- Fixed a bug that moves objects when you press the arrow keys while editing text
- Updated the objects: emoticons, humanoid bot, invader 1 & 2, wolf, heart.

And we added a new feature:
- Pressing ESCAPE while editing text will now get you out of text editing mode - it's basically a CANCEL while text editing. Why did we not have this before... who knows! It's there now :)

We'll announce the winners of the first contest later today. Thanks for reading!

BITKU CONTEST #1!

Hello all,

We've officially started CONTEST #1, the first of many to come. It's very simple - just make something awesome with Bitku, post it to Twitter tagged #bitku (and tag @pixeljamgames as well if you want us to notice it faster), and at the end of Feb 20 (Monday) we'll select a few winners and send them Steam keys for the Pixeljam game of their choice (Potatoman, Dino Run, Glorkian, Last Horizon, etc).

You can also post it to the ARTWORK section of the steam community, tagged with #contest1.



Can't wait to see what you create!

-Miles @ Pixeljam

BITKU is here!

Welcome to BITKU!

We're excited to see what everyone will create - post them to the "artwork" section of the community, and share on your social media account of choice as well!

Also, we'll showcase our favorites on twitter and tumblr every week.

Some SECRET tips for power users:

- If you select an object and press the arrow keys, you can NUDGE things in small increments.

- To remove things from the canvas, drag them out of view or select and DELETE. (not really a power feature, but it's not in the tutorial)

- You can edit text once it's already placed by clicking on it in the canvas.

Enjoy!

-The Pixeljam Team
