About this game
Pivot your character within the screen’s borders, narrowly dodging obstacles, collecting points, and smashing power-ups. Survive as long as possible in this fast-paced, minimalist arcade experience, the second game in my three-part series.
Press the pivot button to start spinning in the opposite direction. Simple one-button controls make it easy to pick up but hard to master. Play with a gamepad, keyboard, or mouse for seamless input.
Easy to learn, hard to master – Simple controls, deep challenge
Endless score-chasing action – The game speeds up over time
Unlockable skins – Includes characters from other Adamvision Studios games
‘Close Call’ system – Earn bonus points for near misses
Leaderboards & Steam Achievements – Compete for the top score globally
Steam Cloud support – Sync progress across devices
Steam Trading Cards – Includes profile wallpapers & emoticons
Perfect for quick sessions – Great for playing while waiting in queue
Simple yet unique sound design – Audio SFX created using my own voice + royalty-free sounds
Pivot XL is a small, replayable arcade score-chaser designed for fast, high-intensity gameplay. As the second game in my minimalist arcade series, it builds on my original mobile game ‘Pivot’ with refined mechanics and PC-optimized features.
I love crafting simple, polished arcade games and truly value player feedback. If you find a bug, have suggestions, or just want to say hello, reach out via Discord or my website.
Thanks for playing!

System Requirements
Will my PC run this? →Minimum
- OS *: Windows 7 (possibly xp as well, no promises)
- Processor: Dual Core+
- Memory: 2 GB RAM
- Graphics: 512MB+
- Storage: 500 MB available space
- Additional Notes: It's possible Pivot XL uses less resources than that weird old Windows screensaver with the flying winged toasters. Man, I should really read about that, what the heck was that all about?
Recommended
- OS: Windows 10
- Processor: I bet if they made a 5 core processor it would be really weird, but could run this game well.
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: GeForce GTX 1070 (Pivot XL has one less effect than Bing Bong XL, so you don't need all that 1080 power anymore)
- Storage: 502 MB available space
- Sound Card: Will I hit my second wind on writing (clever?!) sound card details? There's only one way to know... --> Turn to page 37 if you want to know. --> Turn to page 52 if you think this bit went terribly.
- Additional Notes: The universe is a cruel uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead.

V9 - Housekeeping update
V9 - Housekeeping update Resolved the broken Full Steam Leaderboards button Resolved crash on exit on Mac Now fully working on Linux, fixed the inverted dpad as well Full Steamdeck support confirmed Updated store page and features where appropriate Added Steam Trading Cards Changed share button to now copy message/score to clipboard so you can use it anywhere instead of opening up a direct link to Twitter Decreased install size Updated the Unity backend Implemented several translation suggestions Proper Cloud saving Cross-Platform Win/Mac/Lin Migrating save files (copying not deleting so old one is still there) from old versions to new save location to be consistent with all my games. Removed additional exit menu and videos. Added unified Update text and "More Games By" panel on main menu that will be in all my games going forward. If you click the panel it will open to the games page and then won't suggest that game again on this installation. Also allows me to push update text without a full game update in case of urgent issues. Splash screen is now in Dark Mode finally, no more flashbang Probably other minor fixes I forgot (sorry) Thanks yall, let me know if I missed anything. adamvisionRead full article on Community Announcements (adamvision)AnnouncementsOfficial
