Hello all, Utopia Must Fall is approaching a smaller but significant update in the next few weeks, be on the look out. And now for the main reason to this post... Pixeljam has always worked on multiple projects at once (with different teams), and the thing we've probably spent the most time on is a sequel to our 2008 browser game Dino Run.

Hello all, As you may or may not know, Utopia Must Fall was created in our new vector game engine we call V99 - and we're making multiple games with it. Today we just released version 1.0 of GRID RANGER, an intense shortform 3D shmuplike featuring mouse-centric controls and classic arcade 'dodge & blast' action: Grid Ranger's Steam page: If you already own UMF, you can get Grid Ranger as part o…

We plan on upping it by a dollar for each major content update until it sits somewhere around 10 or 15 dollars total.

Hello all, We recently found out that Utopia Must Fall has been nominated for "Excellence in Audio" for the upcoming Independent Games Festival, which is... kind of awesome!

Hello UMFers, We hope everyone has been enjoying the QoL update to the game, and now that we have that out of the way, it's time to focus on the good stuff - new content!

Hello all, We've spent the last couple of weeks diving in to the very guts of the v99 engine hunting down bugs and making fundamental improvements. For us, this means we have a much nicer development workflow so we can bring you updates (and other v99 games) more quickly 🔧 , and for Utopia Must Fall, this means controller support, more efficient rendering, and significantly more stable frame r…
Hello all, Now that the dust has settled from launch, we can have a big exhale and figure out what's next for Utopia Must Fall. A lot of great suggestions and feedback so far... A lot of you have echoed what we already planned to do: more variety in the early game, and more ways to kick ass in the late game. Those things are top priority, but we'd also like to add controller & deck support, new…

This one has a wider playfield than the browser demo, and also has true fullscreen support. Find the link on the store page - we just made it live a few hours ago. Note: the demo will not work on Intel Macs - we're working on figuring that out. If…
