AI Game Maker
Make a pixel art game with AI
Describe your game in chat. The AI game builder writes the code, uses pixel art you made with PixelLab, and puts your game online at a link anyone can play.

Full tutorial: building a game with the PixelLab game builder
What is an AI game maker?
An AI game maker builds a playable game from a description. You say what the game should be and what to change, and an AI agent writes the code, tests it and publishes it. PixelLab's game builder is made for 2D pixel art games: it uses the characters, animations, tilesets and maps you create with PixelLab, so your game has its own look instead of placeholder art.
How to make a game with AI
From idea to a playable game in your browser, testing as you go, without setting up an engine, a code editor or hosting.
1
Start a project
Pick a top-down or side-scroller template. Either one is already playable, and you are free to turn it into any game you like.
2
Describe what you want
Tell the builder in plain words: "add a slime that chases the player", "make a shop in the village", "give the hero a dash". It writes the code, and you play the new version in the browser right next to the chat.
3
Play and share
Your game goes live at its own link (yourgame.pixellab.run). Send it to friends, playtest it, keep changing it.
Everything you need to make a game
Art, code and hosting in one place, built for pixel art games.
Your own pixel art
Characters, animations, tilesets, maps, objects and UI you make with PixelLab go straight into the game. No asset store look.
No coding needed
Describe gameplay, levels and rules in chat. The builder explains what it changed, so you can steer it like a teammate.
Real code underneath
Games are Phaser 4 + TypeScript projects, not a locked-in format. If you code, read and edit everything the builder writes.
Multiplayer built in
Projects come with multiplayer support, so friends can join the same world from their own browser.
Play it as you build
The game runs in the browser right next to the chat. When the builder ships a change, reload and test it straight away. No installs, no hosting to set up.
Works with your AI tools
Drive the game builder from Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client, and generate the art for it with the same connection.
Pixel art made for games
Characters, maps and scenes made with PixelLab, ready to drop into your game.
