**Pyxel** (/ˈpɪksəl/) is a retro game engine for Python.

With simple specifications inspired by retro gaming consoles, such as displaying only 16 colors and supporting 4 sound channels, you can easily enjoy making pixel-art-style games.

Pyxel is open source under the [MIT License](https://github.com/kitao/pyxel/blob/main/LICENSE) and free to use. Let's start making retro games with Pyxel!

Also, if you like Pyxel, please give it a star on GitHub.
