Pixel dotted map and 3D globe look
Pixel
An 8-bit world atlas
Pixel is the 8-bit treatment: chunky square dots arranged at a coarse grid, evoking the look of early arcade games, indie pixel-art studios, and early-90s software UI. Density and dotSize together control the pixelation scale: lower density with larger dotSize produces the iconic NES-style chunky map, while higher density approaches a Game Boy resolution. Square dot shape is locked in to maintain the aesthetic. Pair Pixel with the country selection to build per-market splash screens for indie games, retro-themed marketing pages, or any product that wants to lean into 8-bit nostalgia without committing to a full pixel-art design system.
