The name "PixelJam" comes from an "abstract pixel animation art experiment/site" that Richard Grilloti was playing around with in the late 1990s. Around 2004, he and his friend from college, Miles Tilmann, made their first game, also collaborating with 8bit musician Mark Denardo.[2][6] Grilloti and Tilman were originally both based in Chicago, then the studio went virtual for a couple of years when Grilloti lived in Oregon, but both Grilloti and Tilman later moved to Asheville, North Carolina.[7][2] The studio has made many games for Adult Swim.[8] In 2015, the studio had 5 employees.[7]
In 2007, PixelJAM developed a Flashshoot 'em up game, called Gamma Bros. It was nominated for "Best Web Browser Game" at the Independent Games Festival.[7] The player takes control of brothers Buzz and Zap Gamma who are on their way home from a galactic commute and must survive hoards of oncoming enemies.[6]
In November 2013, PixelJam launched a Kickstarter campaign for a sequel to Dino Run, but it failed to achieve its funding goal. A second campaign in 2018 succeeded. The game remains unreleased.
