Pixel Pulse Arcade

Step up to a whole neon arcade in your pocket. Pixel Pulse Arcade packs 34 original retro arcade games into one app, each with glowing vector-style graphics, a chiptune soundtrack and controls built for touch.

Every game is quick to pick up and hard to put down. Jump in for one round or chase the high score all evening.

★ 34 ARCADE GAMES IN ONE
Shooters, maze chases, platformers, racers, puzzlers and head-to-head duels. When you fancy a change, the next game is a swipe away on the spinning game menu.

★ 2 PLAYERS, 1 PHONE
Six games let two people play on one device, each on their own side of the screen: Paddle Duel, Neon Rink, Neon Trails, Tank Battle, Block Drop and Bubble Burst.

★ CHASE THE HIGH SCORE
Every game keeps its own top-ten table. Beat a score and enter your initials the old-fashioned way.

★ NEON GLOW, CRT SOUL
Glowing lines, chunky pixel text, scanlines, screen shake and sparks. Every game has its own chiptune and a full set of retro sound effects.

★ PLAYS OFFLINE
No sign-in and no internet connection needed to play.

★ RUNS ON OLDER PHONES
Every game is tested on a budget 2016 tablet, so older phones get smooth play too.
