After much thought, and seven years of game development, we decided to re-brand the site.
The name 'Pi Eye Games' was always a bit odd, and hopefully 'Clockwork Pixels'
speaks more of what we're about, a blend of the technical and the artistic.
As well as a new name, we've added many new features to the site. There's a customer
forum, a development blog and you can get free games using our new 'credits' feature.
Please contact me with any questions or feedback.
I hope you like the brand new name and website!
For 200 years we have been mining our solar system's asteroid belt in peace. All that changed the day the Krainian Empire invaded our outer territories. Take the controls of the ArkLight X-52 and take the fight back to the enemy!
DarkSide is the action packed follow up to ArkLight.
DarkSide is a sci-fi based shoot'em'up in which you pilot your way around 100's of massive asteroids. Fly in and out of their dark sides as you battle a host of alien hostiles. Watch out for orbiting chunks of rock, blast them into oblivion before they destroy the mining colonies. Try out the free demo today!
DarkSide Features :
100's of fast paced levels packed with aliens.
Three game modes, including a full-on arcade mode.

Big Chip 10 Awards :
Game Of The North 2008
"This year's Big Chip Game of the North award is the first Big Chip awards to be open to entries from outside the North West region.
The winner here (DarkSide) was chosen for its playability, slick build and good use of graphics. As a web-based game it loaded quickly, the user interface was intuitive and the game play obvious. Within just a few levels it's easy to see the game's addictiveness, and the simplicity and style with which is has been built. An all-round great game showing you don’t need huge teams and budgets to create something stylish and playable." ...

skills to get as far as you can with just three lives; and survival mode,
where you get to see how long you can last with just one life against an
