It’s finally here!

Pixel Washer, developed by Matt Hackett @richtaur , is out now in Early Access.

Pigxel has never been more excited to get everything else clean. The world is a mess, the power washer is ready, and every spray uncovers a little more pixel art. It’s a good day for it.

Meet Pigxel, a pig who loves to clean, and he's got an entire town to take on with his power washer. That's a whole lot of grime to get through.

Pixel Washer hits Steam Early Access October 15 with plenty to enjoy right away, and it's only the start.

[Fer // WISHLIST TOSSDOWN! 🚀 @theferfactor]

Fun fact: Reading Matt's book "How to Make a Video Game All By Yourself" inspired me to work on Tossdown solo (I'm pretty sure I have posted quotes from the book) and now both our games are being published by the same publisher!

[Matt Hackett 📙 @richtaur]

Gonna poke my head up out of my cave briefly to say:

@PlayAcclaim is publishing my game Pixel Washer! AHHHH 🐷🫧

Add it to your Steam washlist [sic] and check out Acclaim's other games, they look HOT 🔥

[Acclaim, Inc. @PlayAcclaim]

Grab your goggles and prepare to transform a lo-fi pigsty to a shimmering spritework utopia in Pixel Washer.

As Pigxel, you’ll use your oink-credible power washer to spray way grime to reveal pixel art masterpieces. Spend the cash you earn to upgrade your gear and grow your business to tackle even dirtier jobs.
