Draw pixel-art characters, build your own levels, and play the games you make. A creative game studio for kids, right on your iPad.
Pixel Game Lab is a creative game studio for kids, right on your iPad. Draw your own pixel-art characters, build levels, and turn them into real games you can play and share.
Designed by the educators at Game Design Academy and used in elementary school game-design programs.
WHAT YOU CAN MAKE
- Concept Art: sketch your characters and worlds.
- Pixel Art: draw animated heroes, companions, enemies, bosses, tiles, and decorations.
- Level Design: build worlds with terrain, traps, doors, keys, moving platforms, and more.
- Games: package your art and levels into a real, playable game.
PLAY AND SHARE
- Play your creations in a full game engine: run, jump, climb, and battle.
- Team up in co-op and play a level together with a friend.
- Explore a catalog of games made by other kids and creators, free to play.
SAFE BY DESIGN
- Kids create with a username only. We do not collect a child's real name.
- Everything shared is reviewed by our team before it goes public.
- Report and block tools are on every public item, and there is no open chat.
