Description

Pixel Lord is one screen, 14,400 tiles, and a single rule: the highest bid takes it. Every tile on the board is for sale, starting at a penny. A dollar gets you a 10×10 block — a 100×100 pixel spot, big enough for a logo, a portrait, a joke, or a link to whatever you are building. Draw it pixel by pixel in the browser, drop in an image and scale it to fit, or set some text. Redraw it tomorrow if you change your mind; editing is always free.

What makes Pixel Lord different from the pixel grids you have seen before is that nothing you buy is permanent. Anyone can take your tiles by bidding at least 10% above what you paid. When they do, you do not simply lose them — 70% of their bid lands in your balance, ready to spend on somebody else's corner of the board. Losing a tile is never a wipeout; it costs you the difference and hands the rest straight back. A good spot gets expensive precisely because people keep wanting it.

There are no seasons, no resets and no final owner. The board is live: claims show up as they happen, and the map of who owns what is never the same two days running. Take a cheap tile in a quiet corner, or pay up for the middle and dare someone to take it. Browsing is anonymous and needs no account. You only sign in — by email, no password — when you add funds, so your balance follows you between devices. Credit is spendable on tiles here and nothing else.
