Blast through an endless, procedurally generated river canyon in this retro-style arcade shooter. Manage your fuel, graze enemies for energy, and uncover the story of the "Sky Ghosts" squadron. In Pixel Canyon, the river never ends - but your fuel might.
Pixel Canyon is a love letter to classic vertical scrolling shooters like *River Raid*, reimagined with modern mechanics and a narrative heart. Pilot your fighter jet up an infinite, treacherous river canyon, where every meter counts and the only way to survive is to keep moving forward.
Your fuel gauge is constantly ticking down. To stay airborne, you must destroy enemy fuel barges and collect canisters. Flying fast consumes more fuel but covers more distance. Flying slow conserves fuel but leaves you vulnerable. Will you speedrun for the high score or play it safe?
Risk equals reward. Fly dangerously close to enemy ships, bullets, notice canyon walls to "Graze" them. Grazing regenerates your Energy and Fuel, allowing you to unleash powerful special weapons without relying on pickups.
Join the Sky Ghosts to reclaim their homeland from "Thered" invasion. Fly as ace pilot Akane, alongside veterans Jane and Leona, with support from mechanic Nao. Experience a 24-level campaign full of banter, drama, and intense boss battles.

Double & Spread Shot: For crowd control.
Homing Missiles: For precision strikes.
Flak Cannon: For devastating close-range damage.
Overheat Mechanic: Push your thrusters to the limit to escape danger, but watch your heat gauge—an overheated engine means you're a sitting duck.
Fuel Mechanics: Speed consumes gas. Manage your throttle and destroy barges to keep flying.
Graze System: Fly dangerously close to enemies to recharge energy and fuel.

The peaceful nation of Pixel has been overrun. As part of the last resistance, you are the only thing standing between the invading "Thered" forces and total annihilation. Strap in, throttle up, and don't forget to refuel.
Pixel Canyon: The river creates the path, but you create the legend.
