develop 100 PIXEL TOYS
PIXEL TOYS WAS started by Andrew Wafer and Alex Zoro. Zoro has worked in games for over a decade, starting at Rare before going on to found FreeStyleGames in 2002. Meanwhile, Wafer has worked
for the likes of Codemasters and Activision, and earlier this year told Develop that he’s never seen more opportunities than “right now” in games. Pixel Games’ first title, Super
Little Acorns (pictured), arrived on the 3DS eShop this April, and has had a positive reception from critics. Originally a team of three with
some contributors, Pixel Toys hopes to double in size in 2014.
