1-1 What we make

Four ways to play with us

We are a small team that designs, builds and ships games end to end, and we lend those hands to other studios and brands when the project is right.

  • Original games

    Our own titles, from the first sketch to launch and updates. Cosy, strange and very replayable.

  • Co-development

    Extra hands for your team on gameplay, tools, levels or porting, working inside your pipeline.

  • Playable prototypes

    Two to six week sprints that turn a pitch into something your publisher can actually hold.

  • Brand games

    Small, polished games and interactive pieces for launches, museums and events.

1-4 How we work

Level select

  1. Find the fun

    A tiny, ugly prototype that proves the core loop is worth playing for ten minutes.

  2. Vertical slice

    One polished level with final art direction, so everyone knows exactly what we are making.

  3. Production

    Content, systems and weekly playtests with real players, not just the team.

  4. Launch and live

    Certification, release, patches and the updates players ask for.
