The story behind Chicken Road

Meet the passionate team of developers, artists, and designers who created the addictive voxel-art mobile game that's taking the world by storm.

Our Story

Early Prototype of Chicken Road

Pixel Perfect Studios was born in 2018 when four friends with a shared passion for retro gaming and modern design decided to pursue their dream of creating memorable mobile gaming experiences. What started as weekend game jams in a tiny apartment in Portland has grown into a thriving indie studio with a hit title under our belt.

Our journey to create Chicken Road began with a simple sketch on a napkin during lunch. Emily, our lead designer, was reminiscing about classic arcade games when she had the idea to reimagine the road-crossing concept with modern voxel art and intuitive mobile controls.

For eighteen months, our small team worked tirelessly to perfect every aspect of Chicken Road. We faced countless challenges, from optimizing performance on older devices to balancing the difficulty curve to be approachable yet challenging. The breakthrough came when we embraced the voxel art style, which not only gave our game a distinctive personality but also improved performance and allowed for more creative freedom.

When we launched Chicken Road in early 2022, we were overwhelmed by the positive response. What started as a passion project quickly gained traction, and within months, we had millions of players guiding their chickens across increasingly chaotic roads. Today, our team has grown to fifteen talented individuals, all committed to expanding the Chicken Road universe and creating new gaming experiences that bring joy to players worldwide.

Our Mission & Values

Our Mission

At Pixel Perfect Studios, our mission is to create gaming experiences that are accessible, memorable, and bring genuine joy. We believe that great games don't need complex mechanics or photorealistic graphics to create lasting connections with players.

By focusing on intuitive controls, charming aesthetics, and perfectly balanced challenges, we aim to create moments of delight that anyone can enjoy, regardless of their gaming background or device. With every project, we strive to respect the classics while embracing innovation, ensuring our games feel both familiar and fresh.

Our Core Values

  • Player-First Design: We believe that games should be built around the player experience, not business models.
  • Artistic Integrity: We embrace unique visual styles that enhance gameplay rather than following graphical trends.
  • Accessibility: We design our games to be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of skill level or physical abilities.
  • Continuous Innovation: We constantly experiment with new mechanics while maintaining the core elements that players love.
  • Community Engagement: We actively listen to our players and involve them in our development process.
