About Pixel Arcade
Insert coin to start. Arcade is a pixel-art portfolio template for developers, built like a retro arcade cabinet: chunky pixel type, cut-corner cards with hard shadows, CRT scanlines and a live HUD that scores your visitor's scroll.
Everything is driven by styles and the CMS, so you can make it yours without touching code.
FEATURES
- Arcade boot screen: spinning coin, stepped loading bar and PRESS START (once per visit, skippable)
- Live HUD: SCORE counts up, LEVEL climbs and LIVES show as pixel hearts as visitors scroll
- Achievement toasts that pop in as each new level is reached
- Stepped animations: reveals, skill bar fills and button presses move in hard pixel steps and replay on scroll
- CRT scanline and vignette overlay, plus a pixel sprite that walks along the bottom of the screen
- Custom pixel scrollbar
- Respects reduced motion: effects switch off for visitors who prefer it
