Welcome to Pixelpolis Neon!
This small, handcrafted project blends the warm nostalgia of classic pixel games with the glowing energy of a neon-lit cyber city. If you love creative city builders without pressure or complexity – something relaxing, stylish, and visually satisfying – you’ll feel right at home here.
Pixelpolis Neon focuses on pure creativity. No stressful micromanagement, no complicated systems. Just place buildings, shape districts, and watch your pixel metropolis come alive with vibrant colors and tiny animated details. Every building, every tile, every little light beam was drawn by hand – no AI shortcuts, just genuine pixel craftsmanship.
Over 400 hand-drawn buildings
Carefully illustrated without AI, giving the game a unique, authentic retro look.
10 handcrafted maps (100x100 tiles each)
Every map feels fresh, offering new layouts, moods, and visual possibilities.
Relaxed sandbox gameplay
Build freely, experiment, and enjoy the atmosphere. No pressure, no failure states.
Synthwave & dreamwave soundtrack
Designed to keep you in a creative flow while your neon city expands.
A vivid pink-blue-yellow palette
Inspired by classic cyberpunk aesthetics and early pixel-art dreams.
I’m currently working on adding a society system with three colorful social groups:
Synth Punks (Pink) – art, chaos, fun
Cyborgs (Blue) – logic, rules, digital obsession
Traditionals (Yellow) – family, food, responsibility
By building group-specific structures, you’ll shape which faction grows and what your city looks like.
More features, buildings, and updates will follow – all based on community feedback.
Pixelpolis Neon is a solo passion project.
