Lately we've been stopping clocks and digging holes.

We're CodePixel Labs, a small studio that makes games you can play in a browser. In On The Dot you try to stop a stopwatch at exactly 1.00, which is harder than it has any right to be. In Descent Inc. you dig down through a planet one layer at a time, and every layer pays for the drill that gets you through the next. Both are free, and they work on your phone.

Games

There are two of them so far, and either one is a few seconds away.

There's nothing to download and no account to make, so whether you're on your phone or your laptop, you're playing a few seconds after you open one.

On The DotStart the clock. Stop it on the dot.

It's the stopwatch from up top, and one small idea turns out to hold a lot of games: a blindfolded round where the clock hides while it runs, a rhythm round where you tap on every second, a game of chicken where one hundredth too late is a bust, and parties where up to four people play the same rounds at the same time.

Descent Inc.A mining job that goes one layer deeper every time you can pay for it.

You've signed on with a mining company that has found planets built in layers, and nothing it owns can scratch them. What you dig out of one layer pays for the drill that cuts through the next, and each one down is harder, rarer and worth more. There's no shortcut, so the only way down is straight through.

Apps

And one app, which is where the studio started.

Text Automator app icon

Text Automator

On Android it sends your texts on a schedule, so they go out on their own: a stand-up reminder every weekday morning, rent on the first of the month, a check-in with your mom on Sundays. It can also reply to texts for you, forward them, and message a whole group at once, and your contacts and messages are stored on your phone, not on our servers.
