Pixel Battle
also: Wall Pixel Battle, pixel canvas, collaborative canvas
Pixel Battle is a real-time shared canvas — every Wall user is contributing pixels to one common surface that updates live. Conceptually similar to Reddit's r/place but persistent (no scheduled end), with paid items, and integrated into a social platform.
Placing a pixel costs nothing (the cooldown is the rate limit). Cooldown by tier: Free 30s, Premium 10s, Ultra 3s. Power-up items cost Telegram Stars: Spray (50★), Eraser (75★), Varnish-S (150★), Splash (150★), Letter (150★), Heart / Star / Adrenaline (200★ each), Smile (300★), Varnish-L (350★), Mega (600★). Phase-2 strategic items: Rewind 10min (500★), Rewind 30min (900★), Virus-S (300★), Virus-L (600★), Fence-Mini (400★), Fence-Mega (900★).
A live leaderboard tracks contributions. Seasonal resets clear the canvas periodically so new players have a chance to leave a mark without needing to overwrite years of prior art.

Common questions
Is Pixel Battle the same as r/place?
Conceptually similar — shared pixel canvas, per-user cooldown, anyone can paint anywhere — but Pixel Battle is persistent (not a scheduled event) and integrates paid power-ups (Stars-priced sprays, varnishes, fences, viruses, rewinds). Reddit's r/place was free-only with a fixed window; Pixel Battle is an ongoing surface.
Can I bot Pixel Battle?
No, automated placement is against Wall's rules and triggers anti-spam blocks. The HMAC-SHA256 auth means a bot would need a valid Telegram session, and rate limits are enforced per-user atomically (Redis-backed). Sustained bot patterns get the account banned.
Why 3-second cooldown for Ultra?
10× faster than free is a meaningful gameplay differentiator — at 3s you place ~1200 pixels per hour vs Free's 120. For territory campaigns or single-session art pieces, the difference changes the kind of game you can play.
