Themes
VoxelStorm's games tend to focus on Retrofuturism and cyberpunk themes, with dark cynical humour. The settings of their games are frequently procedurally generated. The graphics in VoxelStorm games tend to be heavily stylized rather than realistic.
Distribution
VoxelStorm makes their games available on Windows, Linux and OS X.
Game jams
VoxelStorm has taken part in multiple Game jams. AdvertCity, a published VoxelStorm game, was originally started in a CyberPunk Game Jam. GolfXTRM was made in the Fuck This Jam Game Jam.
Music
VoxelStorm has been described as placing a great deal of emphasis on creating rich original soundtracks for their games. The AdvertCity Soundtrack has received critical praise for its unusual genre choices for video game music, variously described as "cyber-jazz" and "postrock, jazz & glitch". It has been called "A profound and stunning accomplishment, even as a standalone soundtrack."
