A downloadable game for Windows

PIXEvoLve is a relaxing sandbox game in which you shape and explore procedurally generated islands. Use your powers to spread meadows and forests, build roads and farms, and carve out burned scars and blasted deserts. View your world from on high, or walk among the fields and houses at the size of a human. Immerse yourself further in VR!

There's no goal beyond losing yourself in the flow of creation and destruction, chaos and order.

PIXEvoLve was inspired by cellular automata like Conway's Game of Life.  Known as a "zero player game", patterns and beauty emerge from a few pixels and simple rules of evolution.

PIXEvoLve is in Early Access, and will continue changing in the coming months. Features to look forward to include:

  • Time of day customization
  • Save/Load system
  • Expanded soundtrack
