Hello.
Welcome to the online portfolio of Simon Stålenhag.
I'm a 2D artist specializing in concept art and pixel art. On this site you'll find examples of my work.
I also work together with Tommy Salomonsson under the creative brand Pixeltruss, and we make flash games. We have released the fluorescent retro experience of Metro Siberia, and are working on our next epic 16-bit era nostalgia title, Ripple Dot Zero.

Ok so here's a game play video of mine and Tommy Salomonsson's current project Ripple Dot Zero. My duties are to produce all art assets and levels, music and sfx. The game design is done together with Tommy over lunches and msn.

This was a four week UnrealED project we had in school tutored by level design guru Sjoerd De Jong.
Metro Siberia Game play vid
Metro Siberia has to date been played roughly 4 million times by people all over the globe. It was released in early 2008 and developed by me and Tommy salomonsson. I did all the art, level design and music/sfx.
Here's me trying to play level 3, The Gysi Express, which is the hardest and fastest level of MS. I make it pretty far, but I'm not what I used to be. I actually had the skill to make it through all three levels when we were developing it.
