You sit down. You're ready to focus. A quiet desk, a bit of light, and a little buddy who sets off in your place — PixelFocus turns every bit of focus into companionship worth coming back to. Focus is how it grows Press start, and your pixel buddy travels on your behalf. By the time you look up, it's brought back XP, coins, and something new to wear — never empty-handed. The more you focus, the farther it roams, and the more it becomes *yours*. Every session is a journey From cherry-blossom hills to snowy ridges and windswept shores — every level you reach opens another door. Where to today? Roll, dress up, collect — slowly Spend the coins you earned by focusing on rolls, and dress your buddy in looks you love. From common to mythic, fill a wardrobe that's the two of yours. Focus soundscapes & lo-fi Reach for calm focus soundscapes when you need to lock in, or switch to lo-fi when you want to loosen up. Pick one, turn the world down, and stay a while. It can sense you're truly focused (optional) Turn on camera mode and your buddy quietly senses your focus — entirely on your device. Frames are processed live and never stored, uploaded, or sent anywhere. Rather not? Timer mode keeps you company just the same. No punishment, only what adds up Streaks, a focus diary, and a warm hello each day. Break a streak and nothing's taken away — your buddy just misses you a little. Here, sticking with it is remembered gently. If you love pixel art, cozy growth and collecting, and a little ritual of calm — sit down, focus a while, and let your buddy go see the world for you.
