About

PixelHeart is a publisher and distributor known for releasing physical editions of retro-style indie games and classic ports. The company is notably associated with the Andro Dunos franchise, and has published titles such as Finding Teddy II, Guns of Mercy, Super Trench Attack, FX Unit Yuki The Henshin Engine, and the Shmup Collection.

Operating primarily within the retro revival market, the publisher has focused on bringing classic-style experiences to modern platforms like the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and legacy systems like the Sega Dreamcast. Within the Andro Dunos franchise ecosystem, the publisher has curated a diverse lineup of shoot-'em-ups and retro action titles. This includes the preservation of early genre entries such as the 1994 classic Andro Dunos and the 1998 release Supercharged Robot Vulkaizer.

The publisher expanded this franchise footprint in 2019 by releasing FX Unit Yuki The Henshin Engine, Guns of Mercy, and the comedic shooter Super Trench Attack. These releases were followed in 2020 by the platformer Finding Teddy II and the Shmup Collection, which bundled multiple shooters together to celebrate the franchise's arcade heritage. By producing limited physical runs for legacy consoles alongside digital distributions, these specific titles have been preserved for collectors, cementing the publisher's role in maintaining the legacy of the Andro Dunos series and its associated spin-offs.
