About

Watch Smash

THE GATE IS OPEN. Every hundred years the tower called THE ASCENDANT wakes, and the bold climb it floor by floor. Champions go up. None come back down. You climb anyway. Watch Smash is a fast, original arcade fighter made for Apple Watch — quick sessions, big personality, real combos. Rotate the Digital Crown to move, tap to punch and kick, and chain strikes into specials. No tiny d-pad, no fuss — just arcade fights that fit your wrist. • 16 original fighters, each with their own look, style, and attitude. • TOURNAMENT — a 15-floor ladder with story beats between fights. Win to advance; lose and fight your way back from the Pit. • VS — single-fight challenges against the whole roster. • LEARN — bite-size training for footwork, strikes, guard, and meter. • Stylized hits, finishers, retro voice callouts, and an original synth soundtrack. • Optional Roster Pass unlocks every VS fighter instantly. Every fighter can also be earned free through tournament wins. • Face a final champion who cannot be beaten by damage alone. All characters and story are original. Built for short, addictive sessions.

Guide your pixel through a scrolling tunnel and see how far you can get before the walls catch up with you. Pixly brings an old C game to iPhone and iPad. What began as an ASCII game in an 80-by-25 console lives on in two playable versions: • Pixly 1.0: the classic console-style game, with stepped tunnel walls and simple tap controls. • Pixly 2.0: smooth movement and physics, with the same pixel-sized challenge. Choose a theme, change your avatar, and chase your best score.
