Hi everyone,

TL;DR: Can you think of your favorite pixel art games (release date about 2010 and later) and list them below? Voxel art and hybrids are very welcome as well.

I'm looking for a bit of help compiling a list of modern/contemporary/recent pixel art games, anything after 2010 (about the time when Sword & Sworcery came out and started a new wave of pixel art, but I'm interested in all styles, just that it's from this decade).

I've been featuring pixel art games on http://www.retronator.com - my blog almost every day for the last 4 months since GDC, so I've got a decent coverage of very current things. I've also been doing it on-and-off prior to this, collecting screenshots for the last 2 years. This is my current list of games I have screenshots for:


(sorry for not making it searchable)

Now I want to analyze them all and create a bigger overview article for my https://medium.com/retronator-magazine - online magazine . My blog has been around since 2010 and I will analyze all the games I've posted since then, however, I'm afraid I'll still miss any important titles.

I'd appreciate your help! I'm trying to make sure everyone's favorites are included in my analysis.

Full disclosure: I'm asking this in more places on the internet. I know I'm not really active on the forums, but Pixel Joint is always on my mind. Feel free to delete if I'm barging through the door too much. Thanks!

Cool old school vibe! Will add it to my list (and write about it on the blog hopefully too).
