Pixel Maniacs

Germany Founded 2004 Website

Pixel Maniacs is an indie game development studio based out of Nuremberg, Germany. The company was founded in 2004 and we've developed literally hundreds of mobile apps and games since 2011. However, in 2015 we began following our true passion, and started developing games for PC and consoles. ChromaGun and Can't Drive This, our first (PC) games, were born during Ludum Dare. We had playable versions after just one weekend of jamming. We like to kick off prototypes rapidly and then continue developing with first hand feedback from gamers. Escape the Loop, our third release, is in the making. We love and spend a lot of time and effort into communities with focus on gaming. You can watch us discuss and/or develop games on Twitch. We're Twitch Partner since December 2016. One of our notable contributions to the Twitch community is King of the Pit.
