About Pixel Dynamite

Boilerplate
Pixel Dynamite is a dream we had as kids playing NES during the Regan administration and is getting bigger and bigger every day. Based in Bogotá, Colombia, to say we are passionate about games would be an understatement—though, to be fair, that sentiment is widely shared in this wonderful industry. In 2019, we took the leap to establish our own company, offering game development services to clients around the globe. By 2022, we had saved enough to dedicate ourselves part-time to our passion project. After many early mornings and countless cups of coffee, we are thrilled to announce our first game: Omega Knockout. This arcade boxing game is our love letter to the golden age of arcades, and we hope it will transport our players back to those thrilling days. Look forward to its release in spring 2024!
