Description:
This is a game of skill, where you expand your area with a single shape. Welcome to Pixel Filler, a fun arcade puzzler that blends strategy, quick thinking, and area control. Your mission is to cover a percentage of the board with your color. Tap and hold to grow your shape, but be careful—if another shape touches your expanding creation before it's complete, you have to try again. It's a thoughtful game of risk and reward. Do you go for small, careful fills, or try for a large capture? The choice is yours, but the board presents a challenge.
The 'Colorful Update' Is Here!
We've just added a new level of excitement to the game with the Colorful Update! This update introduces "Changing Arenas," levels that change shape and size as you play, encouraging you to adjust your strategy. We've also added a new type of challenge: the "Divider," which splits into two when you interact with it, increasing the fun.
To help you, we've added a new "Pause" boost. Collect it to briefly slow down other shapes on the screen,

How to Play
The controls are simple, but the strategy is deep. Timing is everything. Know when to grow and when to hold back.
- Goal: Fill a target percentage of the screen to complete the level.
- Action: Click and Hold (on Desktop) or Tap and Hold (on Mobile) in an empty space to start filling. Your shape is complete when you release the button.
- Danger: If an enemy ball hits your shape *while* it is growing, you lose a life.
The Strategist's Guidebook
Is Pixel Filler free to play?
Yes, your quest for pixel domination is 100% free. You can jump in and start conquering territory right now, no cost involved. That's our promise for all the awesome titles you can find here at ATM HTML5 Games.
What's the best strategy for beating the harder levels?
Patience and cornering. Don't get greedy. It's often smarter to make several small, safe fills than one large, risky one. The pro strategy is to use your fills to trap the enemy balls into a smaller and smaller area of the screen. Once they are confined to a tiny box, you can easily make one final, large fill in the empty space to clear the level. It's about control, not chaos.
Why are games with this 'risk/reward' mechanic so compelling?
They create a fantastic tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Every single action is a calculated gamble. This constant decision-making process—"Should I go for it? Is it safe?"—is incredibly engaging. It makes every success feel earned and every failure a lesson learned. This style of high-stakes, strategic gameplay is what makes so many arcade puzzle games so endlessly fun.
This game reminds me of old-school arcade classics. Is that intentional?
Absolutely. Pixel Filler is a modern love letter to the golden age of arcade games like Qix. We aimed to capture that same spirit of simple mechanics, high skill ceilings, and addictive gameplay loops. It's a formula that has proven to be timeless, and it continues to inspire new generations of games you can find on major portals like Poki.
I've mastered filling pixels. What other puzzle games can I try?
A true tactician is always seeking a new mental battlefield. If you enjoy puzzle games that test your foresight and logic, you're in the right place. For a different kind of challenge that will test your memory and concentration under pressure, we strongly recommend you check out Scary Memory.
