Goal
Place four founding Town Halls on safe land, guide the world with strategic powers and observation, and help shape a simulation that ends with one surviving tribe.
Scoring
World Score equals stage reached times 700, resources earned, 250 points per upgrade, 1,000 per eliminated tribe, 120 per completed building, 25 per defeated enemy, 2,500 for completing the world, and two points per active second. The server limits scores to active duration times 800 plus 10,000.
Losing Condition
There is no conventional player-health loss. The world concludes when only one tribe remains, while leaving, loading, or replacing an active world closes the current ranked session as a completed checkpoint. Empty non-qualifying sessions do not produce a valid ranked score.
How to Play
Choose Survival, select each tribe, and tap four separate safe land locations to place the founding Town Halls and begin the simulation.
Watch the tribes gather wood, stone, and metal while their personalities influence construction, population growth, scouting, prayer, research, defense, alliances, and attacks.
Use the Tribes panel, large map, simulation speeds, and God Powers to observe the world, influence important moments, and follow each civilization's changing strategy.
A ranked world finishes when one tribe remains. Use the World menu to save, load, generate another world, or return to the main menu and begin a fresh run.
Controls
- Drag on the world to move the camera, pinch to zoom on touch screens, or use the plus and minus buttons for precise zoom control.
- Use the bottom buttons for Move, Tribes, Map, God Powers, and World actions; use Pause, 1x, 3x, and 5x to control simulation speed. Open the lower-right World & Settings menu to turn music on or off and adjust its volume.
Tips
- Place the four Town Halls far enough apart that every tribe has room to gather and expand before borders begin to overlap.
- Do not spend every God Point immediately; saving points gives you more options when a tribe is collapsing or a major war begins.
- Use the tribe map and statistics before intervening, because a civilization that looks weak may be gathering resources or preparing an upgrade.
- For stronger ranked scores, keep the world active, encourage resource growth and construction, and allow tribes to progress through eliminations instead of ending the session early.
About Pixel Tribes
Pixel Tribes is a single-player civilization simulation where four independently controlled tribes are founded on a generated pixel landscape. After placing their Town Halls, the player becomes an observer and world-shaping force rather than directly commanding every unit. Each tribe receives its own behavioral traits, influencing how strongly it values resources, construction, population, technology, exploration, defense, aggression, spirituality, and expansion. Workers gather materials, settlements construct specialized buildings, armies scout and fight, and civilizations advance through new ages and upgrades. The player can inspect tribe statistics, change simulation speed, open a larger strategic map, save the world, and use a broad collection of God Powers to protect, strengthen, redirect, ally, or attack tribes. Water, lava, forests, stone, resource placement, routing, alliances, and changing military priorities make every generated world develop differently. A session ultimately becomes a long-form survival contest as the remaining civilizations expand, clash, recover, and compete to become the last tribe standing.
