Pixel Wild: Nature Discovery
Make every walk an adventure
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Point your camera at a sidewalk weed, a beetle on your balcony, a bird in the park — Pixel Wild names it, turns it into original pixel art, and drops it into a wild little world that's yours to build.
Naming the thing is where it starts, not where it ends. Every species you find becomes something you can place, grow, level up, and keep.

1.8.1 1 day ago
Rangers can now unlock abilities as their connection with the Wild grows! These include abilities like sending letters to other Rangers, instantly growing inhabitants to full maturity, and setting trails for inhabitants to follow. We also added some quality-of-life improvements like making it easier to view your discovery details by just swiping through the discovery card and added more sanctuary mechanics like moving multiple blocks and inhabitants at once, stack blocks, and mirror mode. Plus more blocks, music, skies, and weather to bring your sanctuaries!

1.7.2 14 Aug
We're quickly building on top of 1.7.0 with this update.
You can now view leaderboards, favorite your discoveries, gain more achievements and increase experience gained from learning about your discovery making your discoveries get to level 10 easier. You can also fine tune your public location setting and also set default privacy settings in Settings -> Privacy. Finally, you can switch any sanctuary to become the "main" where it'll become the sanctuary where Rangers land on first.
Finally, fun facts and quizzes will receive over-the-air updates over the next 7 days. Once a species is migrated, fun facts and quiz questions will substantially improve. Thank you for your patience with this one!
Thanks again for all the feedback and have a great adventure exploring the wild with us!
1.7.1 13 Aug
Every discovery levels up now. Find a species somewhere new, read its facts, watch its video, care for it — anything you do with that species raises its level, all the way to 20. Higher levels let its inhabitants grow further, and turn the discovery card itself into a shimmer at 15 and a hologram at 20. Your ranger level is the sum of it all, plus what you get up to in other rangers' worlds.
There's a home-screen widget too: your own discoveries, your sanctuary behind them, and a fresh fun fact every day.
We rebuilt a lot of the app around you. Profiles, species pages, discoveries and filters, and sanctuary land expansion have all been redesigned. There is also a new typeface and dark mode support! Plus new achievements to chase, including five for the branches of the tree of life you've collected.
1.7.0 8 Aug

Premium blocks now have new animated effects, including spinning pinwheels and windmills, plus flowing rivers.
Oh… and a mysterious console has appeared in Settings. We wonder what that’s for…
