Introducing PixelConflict, Italian Indie Devs working on their first title!
After thousands of downloads and climbs since last year’s Steam Summer Festival, the ‘get as high as you can’ platformer developed by PixelConflict is stacking it’s way up to a full Steam launch later this year.
Italian indie developer studio PixelConflict are today announcing that their exhilarating debut title, Stack Up! (or dive trying), is set to launch later this year and is officially available for wishlisting on Steam now. PixelConflict was founded in 2021 by three friends from the North of Italy, who got together to start the project at the beginning of the first Italian lockdown in March last year.
Did you say Stack Up! (or dive trying)?
Stack Up! is a light hearted and intense stack-your-way-up platformer with varying difficulty levels all made for casual play or record breaking runs. The objective is simple, get as high as you can and NEVER touch the water below you. Players can go at it solo or put their pride on the line by challenging friends and frenemies, all whilst planning smartly, treading carefully and quickly building their way up with the objects falling around them. The goal? Stack up, have fun and break records… or dive trying, of course.
Key Features:
- Solo and multiplayer modes: There’s fun for everyone, with a range of increasing difficulties players can take on the game solo to sharpen their skills, play for laughs or glory versus their friends and even aim to conquer global ‘Heightscores’ to carve their name as Stack Up! (or dive trying) legends.
- More combinations than a Swedish furniture store: The game throws it all at you, with tons of unique falling objects of different shapes and sizes, from harmless fridges and sofas to catapulting trampolines and dangerous sticky desks. Remember, strategy is really important, especially if you’re trying to get super high!
- POWERUP!: Keep an eye out for marked boxes as you may be in for a refreshing power up – the game throws helpful beverages your way to assist you in your climb, from temporarily pausing the rise of the deadly water below, to turning a small jump into a real leap.
- Customisation: We’re bringing boxes back! Unlock a wide range of completely free and tradeable hats and hammers as you continue to play, to customize your character and make him feel awesome.
“Before the beta, Stack Up! (or dive trying) was just being played by us three developers, so we were left really surprised when we released the beta into the world and saw it get thousands of downloads, with people even beating our heightscores!” said Davide Jensen, co-founder of PixelConflict. “We really can’t wait to see what people think of the game in it’s full form.” he continues, as the team will soon reveal the game’s official release date.

Ten Square Games has begun a phased rollout for Medal Hunter, a new mobile PvP shooter for iOS and Android. The title entered technical release on 4 May, with global availability planned around the turn of May and June, subject to further improvements.
The initial rollout covers Mexico, Vietnam, the Philippines and Poland. Ten Square Games said this stage is focused on verifying technical KPIs and performance stability, while the team fine-tunes gameplay parameters.
Around mid-May, Medal Hunter is expected to move into a broader soft launch, with gradual availability in Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. The company said the focus will then shift to validating short-term retention and engagement.
Medal Hunter is set in combat environments inspired by different historical periods, with architecture and weapons “strongly influenced” by real references but stylized for mobile play. At launch, the game includes five locations, and players compete in short PvP rounds by eliminating moving targets including aircraft and naval units, using two different shooting models.
CEO Andrzej Ilczuk said the project builds on Ten Square Games’ development approach used for Trophy Hunter: “Medal Hunter is an example of how we are putting our growth strategy into practice. Trophy Hunter helped us build a new development model based on clear benchmarks, early validation and a better understanding of the signals that matter before scaling a product. Medal Hunter capitalizes on that experience and on the broader product knowledge we have built across our portfolio. By using proven gameplay mechanics and working in this model, we were able to bring a new title to market in less than a year from the start of development. This gives us earlier insight into a game’s potential, helps limit development risk and allows us to shape products more closely around what players actually respond to”.

Bet on Games, the instant and crash games vertical within the Betcore ecosystem, has launched a new horror-themed crash game called Zombie Rush. The title is now available for global integration via Betcore’s single API, alongside content from TVBET and ElCasino.
Zombie Rush wraps the crash mechanic in a graveyard “survival run” theme. Players decide when to cash out as the multiplier rises, with the round ending when the “crash” triggers.
Bet on Games said the game runs on an “Optimized Math Model” with 97.5% RTP and a “dynamically accelerating multiplier curve.” The release also highlights “Visceral Horror Aesthetics,” linking the crash moment to a “grisly, memorable animation.”
On the feature set, Zombie Rush includes Autoplay and Auto Cash-out. It also adds “Strategic Dual-Betting,” which allows play across two parallel rounds simultaneously.
Betcore is directing partnership and integration inquiries to [email protected]. A gameplay video is available here.
