Pixel People Update Adds A Ton Of New Features

Lambda Mu and Chillingo’s Pixel People was released on mobile devices earlier this year, leaving a trailer of addicted players in their wake. I had to forcibly go cold turkey from the game several months ago, and GodisaGeek Editor Adam Cook still won’t play it.

Pixel People is a danger to productivity, but it’s such a damn addictive danger. As of today, it’s only going to get worse, as a new update for the game has been released – And it’s a big one.

This all new update adds a shedload of new features, including new Achievements, more genes, beach terrain, and upgraded buildings – Those changes, in full:
