How a Pixel Art Battle Works

Let the pixels do the talking.
Receive the same prompt.
One shared idea, two separate pixel-art canvases. Decide how you will bring it to life.
Draw for five minutes.
Draw at the same time against the clock. Public matchmaking uses five-minute rounds.
Reveal and compare.
See both drawings side by side. AI judging is designed to score how well each drawing matches the prompt.
Same Prompt. Two Completely Different Drawings.
A rocket might become a tiny spaceship or a colorful launch scene. The same starting idea can lead to two very different pieces of pixel art. Compare your choices of color, shape and detail at the reveal.
