In this non-shooting shoot 'em up, you are a single white pixel who can absorb the bodies, abilities, and weapons of every enemy pixel you collect. It's up to you to stay either a small and nimble ship, or turn large and powerful. Just remember: protect your core white pixel, because every mistake could be your last.

Critic Reviews
CGMagazine
By Brendan QuinnThis game isn't for everybody, and even fans of the genre won't find a hell of a lot of depth to the game.
Hardcore Gamer
By James CunninghamPixel Galaxy is a clever little non-shooter where your only ability is to move and convert enemies into helpers, and as simple as the endless squares that make up its art are, they look great in motion. There are a lot of creative weapons and bullet patterns to dodge through, and constant tug-of-war with the enemy swarms is a lot of fun until it becomes a constant beatdown.
Game Revolution
By Anthony LaBellaThe fantastic pulsating soundtrack kept me hooked for a little while, but eventually Pixel Galaxy repetition sets in. The lack of meaningful content holds the game back, which is a shame because the idea itself creates a foundation for something more. I still had fun forming ships out of enemies and the boss fights in particular provided a welcome challenge, but that only remains fun for so long. At least I see myself going back to the soundtrack on occasion.
TechRaptor
By Alexandria TaberskiPixel Galaxy is a fun game with dynamic gameplay and a solid design. It's almost impossible for colorblind players though.
