Pixel Canvas
Genre
A pixel war, not a colouring book.
Search “pixel war” and you usually get a flash clone or a dead canvas. This one is a persistent territorial MMO: paint is logistics, troops are the attack, the crucible is the objective.
Why territory beats a cooldown clicker
Classic place-a-pixel games let anyone overwrite anyone. That is a graffiti wall. A war needs a front. On Pixel Canvas you only paint ash that touches your colour. To take a Tide tile as Ember you walk a unit onto it. That single rule creates supply lines, last stands, and the reason to come back tomorrow.
Units in the pixel war
Scouts die fast and claim ash. Soldiers grind. Cannons hit two tiles out and cost gold. Titans are siege walkers for Commanders. They all live on the same grid as the art — a banner you paint can be a fort if a soldier stands on it.
Play the live pixel war. Compare with r/place, wplace, and pxls.
