A pixel bar for people who still believe in high scores.

All forty are set to free play after 9pm. The only thing we ask is that you leave the high score in better shape than you found it.

1984 / Shooter1P

Starfall

One ship, a field of asteroids and an unforgiving parallax sky. The original attract mode is still the best thing in the room.

The ghosts have a pattern; you have a joystick. Learn the pattern, or make peace with the pattern.

A synthwave road, a gearbox with opinions and a lap board that gets shouty after midnight.
