First Release of AniBit: “PIXEL DASH: Toast of Destiny” Now Available!
From Everyday Anime Moments to Heart-Pounding Action

The game opens with a familiar anime scene: “Oh no! I'm late, I'm late!” — a slice-of-life moment where main character Haruka Ran dashes off, bread in mouth. But the morning commute quickly transforms into an intense action experience, filled with unpredictable obstacles and traps.

“PIXEL DASH: Toast of Destiny” is a highly challenging run-and-jump action game that tests players' timing and reflexes. Stages cannot be cleared in a single attempt, but repeated retries allow players to gradually master the controls and learn the tricks to succeed. The game has received positive reviews at domestic and international events including BitSummit, Tokyo Game Show (TGS), and Brasil Game Show, with players praising its addictive retry mechanics and the nostalgic thrill of “learning through repetition,” updated with modern pacing and presentation.

Additionally, collecting 10 bread items in game will trigger something special, encouraging players to retry challenges until they achieve it.

New Anime Screenshots Released

To coincide with the launch, new screenshots showcasing the in-game anime scenes are now available. Continuing from the demo's Stage 1, players will uncover Haruka Ran's journey and the fate that awaits her. From Kyoto on a school trip to encounters that may define her destiny, experience the unfolding story to its conclusion.

Story: A Fateful Encounter Awaits

Haruka Ran is an ordinary high school girl dreaming of a fateful encounter. Every morning is the same — bread in mouth, running full speed! Today is the long-awaited school trip, and she wonders, “Could I meet the one destined for me on this trip?” In that moment… “Oh no! I'm late, I'm late!” — and she dashes off once again.
