Pixel Wrangler

The feed is broken. Wild pixels pour out of the glitch in escalating storms — and you're the only wrangler on shift.

Pixel Wrangler is a fast arcade roguelike of reflex and greed. Tap flying pixels to capture them before they escape, dodge the glitched hazards hiding in the chaos, and climb one 50-wave mountain that keeps getting wilder. Every run is different, every run is short, and it all plays offline with no account.

BUILD A RIG, NOT A PILE OF STATS
After every wave, draft 1 of 3 cards. Every card carries a signal — NET, VOLT, GOLD, FRAME, CHRONO — and stacking three of a kind trips a Resonance that changes the rules, not the numbers. Captures start leaving nets that catch whatever wanders in. Taps arc to their neighbours. Golden pixels split in two. Lose a heart and time rewinds.

TAKE THE CORRUPTED CARD. OR DON'T.
Some upgrades arrive glitched: stronger than they should be, but they bolt a permanent fault onto your run — a faster-draining capture bar, a slower tap, hazards that fade in late. The catch is that corruption lowers every Resonance threshold, so it is also the fastest route to the big ones. Play clean and slow, or corrupt the rig and burn bright.

TEN BOSSES, TEN GAPS
Every fifth wave is a real fight. Each boss hides behind spinning armour with a single opening — find the gap, hit that side, or your tap clangs off. They split into decoys, cloak, charge you and drain your capture bar. Every attack warns you first. Learn the tells.

EVERY DEATH PAYS OUT
Earn Shards even when you fall. Spend them on a 17-perk upgrade tree and come back visibly stronger. Checkpoints every 10 waves keep sessions short and the mountain long.
