About this game
Pub Darts with the Soul of a 90s Arcade Game.
This is what happens when a cozy English pub and a 90s arcade game have a kid together.
Rival portraits. Dramatic VS screens. Big-score flashes. Crowd pressure. Nicknames that should be illegal. And that one little voice in your head saying: "Just one more leg."
Wrapped around it all: a warm local, a throw you'll have down in thirty seconds, and a career built on finishing something your father never could.
Climb the Worldwide Leaderboard.
Play Arcade mode, have every run scored like in old-school arcade games, and climb the worldwide Steam leaderboard. A quiet pub leg becomes a global fight for the top spot! And you can see exactly whose score you have to beat. Even a lost match still scores points: a clean defeat can outrank a hard-fought win.
In the free demo you can jump straight into the global Arcade leaderboard. Everything else awaits in the full game.
Get ON FIRE. Hit the 180!
Land a few big visits in a row and you go ON FIRE: the board lights up, the crowd goes wild, and your game gets noticeably better, because you're ON FIRE!
And when three darts fly into the treble 20 and a 180 lights up on the scoreboard, the whole room wakes up. There are dedicated animations for 140+, 160+, and the 170 checkout too. Each one feels like its own little victory.
Easy to Learn, but Challenging to Master!
Aim. Pull back. Throw. Release.
That's it. The throw is deliberately kept simple, but every throw still needs timing, drift, pressure, release quality - and gives off that quiet sting when you miss the double by just three pixels.
A relaxed leg turns into a nail-biter. One bad throw throws away a whole match. One perfect dart gets the whole crowd going. You'll know the feeling.
You Inherit a Pub! Finish What Your Father Started.
Your father left you "The Lazy Trout".
It's a warm, slightly crooked English pub with loyal regulars, unpaid bills, and an upstairs office full of things that raise more questions than they answer. Old scorecards. Practice recordings. A few scattered darts trophies from your late father.
As you climb from local hopeful to bigger stages, the pub changes around you. Familiar faces react differently and old rivalries come back, because the Garrison family - who own a pub chain - will do everything to stop your rise to fame and glory in darts heaven. The three members of the Garrison family are the boss fights in Career mode, each with their own individual fight! All in the style of classic 90s arcade games!
It's a darts story about grief, inheritance, and the slow realization that what you were trying to prove was always there inside you.
501, Cricket, Shanghai, and Bermuda
Play whatever you're in the mood for.Classic X01 in 301, 501, and 701 (with Double In, Double Out, and best-of formats). Cricket for a more tactical game. Shanghai to practice the double and treble beds. Bermuda when you want something with more bite than another straight 501 leg.
Play a quick round before bed, or settle in on the couch for long sessions - to climb the global leaderboard, or to live through the story around the English pub "The Lazy Trout" in Career mode.
Build Your Own League
Want to start your own darts season completely from scratch?The standalone League mode lets you set up your own season. Here you can define your own players, venues, rules, tables, and matchdays. Build a custom circuit, follow the table week by week, and watch real rivalries form over a whole season.
72 Opponents with Individual Traits!
Every rival has their own portrait; some have their own throwing traits, their own rhythm, trash talk, and characteristics.Some stay ice-cold under pressure. Some play to the crowd. Some never stop talking. Some seem harmless until they hit the treble 20 like clockwork. You'll get to know them - and still be surprised later on.

zweipilot.de is live, and INKTRICK is announced! Reason enough to celebrate!
Hi Pixel Darts fans, and everyone who's about to become one!The interest in Pixel Darts keeps blowing me away. I'm thrilled that so many of you have downloaded the game and, especially here on Steam, rated it so positively: 100% positive reviews across 16 ratings. I never would have dared to dream of that.That's why I decided to launch my own little website. From now on, I'll use it to share updates on new games and current developments in the form of a devlog, most likely posted alongside the events here on Steam. Feel free to stop by and give me your honest feedback. 🙏I also have news about my new project. I've been working on this game quietly in the background for months, and I'm genuinely excited about how it's coming together. It's called INKTRICK, currently planned to launch in Q1 2027. It's a roguelike card game that clearly draws inspiration from Balatro, but the feel is deliberately steered toward something cozy. I'd be grateful for every wishlist add: Pixel Darts is still getting active support, though. If you run into bugs or have ideas for improvements, let me know through the community hub or at info@zweipilot.de.To celebrate thouse announcements I'm selling Pixel Darts at a 20% discount starting on 08/27/2026 at 10 am PST and running until 09/03/2026.Until then, all the best to you! zweipilotRead full article on Community Announcements (knutole)AnnouncementsOfficial
Pixel Darts: Over 100 sold units within the first 14 days!
Some of you might be interested to know just how many other players are also enjoying the game!In fact, the day before yesterday I celebrated the 100th sale of my game, Pixel Darts: From Pub to Glory, and I thought it would be fitting to share a quick update in the form of a Steam message.I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who’s playing the game!I’m particularly pleased with the many positive reactions to the game. As a game developer, everyone surely has concerns before release: will others enjoy the game as much as I do? What if players don’t like it? You put a lot of heart and soul into the various aspects during development. It would be all the more painful if most players didn’t like the game.If you have any feedback or feature requests, please let me know on the Community Hub! Yesterday I released a small hotfix designed to ensure cloud saves work reliably. There was still a minor bug there. An important point regarding cloud saves for ‘alternate save files on different devices’ is that the save slot on the second device must not be occupied; otherwise, conflicts may arise.-- zweipilotRead full article on Community Announcements (knutole)Patch NotesOfficial

500 wishlists. I'm blown away! ❤
Last weekend, another wishlist milestone was reached, which has made me absolutely delighted. Over 500 gamers have now added Pixel Darts: From Pub to Glory to their Steam wishlists.At the start of the development process, I would never have believed that the game would achieve such a wide reach, and at the same time, it’s making me a bit nervous ahead of the launch this Friday (17 July 2026). I hope you all have fun with the game and find throwing the darts just as interesting and ‘addictive’ as I and the playtesters did.Before the release, I’ll be trying to get Steam achievements ready and integrated into the game!I actually prefer playing the game on my ASUS ROG Ally and the Steam Deck. In my view, it’s turned out to be a successful casual game that nevertheless has a certain depth of gameplay and an addictive quality, which makes you absolutely want to play just one more round to achieve an even better leg or finally beat the NPC you’ve always lost to in a best-of-five series.I’ll of course be posting an event update on Friday to mark the launch. In the meantime, I’d like to ask you all to report any bugs or feature requests directly on the Steam Community Hub – either as a thread or via a direct message to me. The game has been tested on a variety of machines, so hopefully the launch will go as smoothly as possible. After launch, I’ll of course roll out any bug fixes or similar updates as quickly as possible.Many thanks to everyone who has added the game to their wishlist or is planning to buy it! I’d be absolutely delighted if – provided you enjoy the game – you could write a review here on Steam or share it online or with friends.Thanks!Read full article on Community Announcements (knutole)
