What is PixelPlanet?
PixelPlanet is a collaborative pixel art game in the spirit of Reddit's r/place. The main canvas is a huge map of the Earth, and everyone online can place coloured pixels on it, one at a time with a short cooldown.
Over time players and groups build flags, logos, characters and murals, defend them and sometimes fight over space. Besides the world map there are other canvases to explore, and a chat lets you coordinate with other players.
