A magical action roguelite where every pixel is simulated.

Noita - A roguelite where everything can be destroyed.

Noita is a magical action roguelite set in a world where every pixel is physically simulated. Fight, explore, melt, burn, freeze and evaporate your way through the procedurally generated world using spells you've created yourself. Explore a variety of environments ranging from coal mines to freezing wastelands while delving deeper in search for unknown mysteries.


  • Pixel-based physics: Every pixel in the world is simulated. Burn, explode or melt anything. Swim in the blood of your foes! Enter a simulated world that is more interactive than anything you've seen before.
  • Your own magic: Create new spells as you delve deeper into the caverns. Use magic to crush your enemies and manipulate the world around you.
  • Procedurally generated world: Explore a unique world every time you play. Discover new environments as you adventure deeper.


  • Action roguelite: Death is permanent and always a looming threat. When you die, don’t despair, use what you’ve learned to get further on your next adventure.
Noita is being developed by Nolla Games, a company set up by 3 indie developers, all of whom have worked on their own projects in the past.

The three gents in question are:

Petri Purho
Petri is best known as the creator of Crayon Physics Deluxe. In his youth he also made a lot tiny freeware games. He has also made a bunch of board games, but he hasn't told about it to anyone. So please keep it a secret.

Olli Harjola
Olli released his first commercial game The Swapper in 2013. Besides indie games, he also dabbles in music, live visuals and making programming languages.

Arvi Teikari
Arvi is also known as Hempuli. Over the years he has released a lot of tiny experimental games, so many in fact that he is unaware of all of them. One of the games he remembers making is Environmental Station Alpha. He's currently also working on Baba Is You.

Looks cool. I'm not the biggest fan of rogue like progression, but everything else looks like it's right up my alley. Loved the speedrun at 17min.

Looks like Worms meets Red Faction in a 2D platformer. Roguelike games aren't my cup of tea, but this looks cool.

This seems like the most amazing game in the world as some who loves physics based environmental interaction. Crayon Physics Deluxe is a favorite of mine too

Not even big on roguelikes and I want to jump in during early access.

Edit: Reminds me that I wish Cortex Command had been left in a better state before launch.

My only issues based on the videos are:
  • the game does not seem to support gamepads, even though it is advertised as such on Steam,
  • there are red screen flashes every time the character is hurt.

This looks great. Swapper seemingly came out of nowhere and blew me away.

The one thing that game had that I'm missing from this video is the unique, nearly perfect sound design. Sound, especially music, isn't as talked about as it should be for roguelikes.

Risk of Rain 1 had this pulsing, bass-heavy soundtrack that made the gameplay click, spurning you to try one more run.

Swapper and Baba Is You are excellent games, and this has been the game I've been looking forward for awhile since I can easily see it reaching the levels of Spelunky and Unexplored.

Lol got some ability that teleports me downward whenever I take damage while I was drenched in slime/acid and saw maybe every zone in the game
at least 7
as I teleported from portal to portal in 40 seconds before finally teleporting into lava

Noita is cool
