Common questions

Everything you
need to know.

How is PixelPicked different from the App Store?

App stores are designed mainly for installing and purchasing games. PixelPicked adds a personal play feed, human review, devlogs, follows, friend challenges, badges, and public profiles, with rankings based on player engagement rather than revenue alone.

Is PixelPicked free to use as a player?

PixelPicked is currently available at no cost during early access. Players can create an account, follow games, play Demo Builds, share feedback, and support their favorites. Long-term pricing is still being developed.

How do I play a game on PixelPicked?

Open Play and swipe through the personalized feed. Games with HTML demos run directly in the browser, so you can move on quickly or keep playing without applying for access or installing an external build.

What is a Launch Campaign?

When a game is ready to release, the developer triggers a Launch Campaign. The game enters a competitive 'Launch Week' where players upvote their favorite new releases. Top-voted games get featured on the platform and in our newsletter.

Will I get spammed with notifications?

No. Updates are tied to the games you choose to follow. You can unfollow a game whenever you no longer want its devlogs, build updates, campaigns, or release news.

How does my feedback help developers?

Your written feedback explains what felt good or confusing. Activity from hosted demos also helps developers see where players continue, struggle, or leave through funnels, retention, heatmaps, and session replays.

Find something worth playing, keep up with the games you care about, and make your mobile gaming history visible.
