Level 1 · Game Library
Our Games
Our own titles, our own worlds. From pixel point-and-click to retro shooters – all developed, drawn, composed and published in-house.
Level 2 · Select your Platform
One studio. Every platform.
We think cross-platform from day one: one game, one codebase, many screens. Dead After Closing runs on iPhone, iPad and Android – and finds other players on the same Wi-Fi for crossplay all by itself.
Bonus Level · Retro Lab
We even port to hardware that's older than our interns.
Half joke, half skill: ASHFALL runs as a playable tech demo on real Neo Geo, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color hardware – with its own graphics and sound for each console. Try it yourself: below is a little game you can "port" to other hardware live.

Score 0 · High score 0
Same game logic, different resolution, different colour palette – that's exactly what porting feels like. Except that on real hardware it takes weeks of handcraft.
Want to see a tech demo as a ROM, or do a cartridge release with us? Drop us a line.
Level 3 · Skill Tree
What we do
From the first doodle to the store release – everything under one roof. For our own games and for yours.

How we make a game
- 01
Idea & Game Design
Mechanics, audience, platforms. We sharpen the concept until it holds up.
- 02
Prototype
Playable early. Is it fun? If not, we rebuild it – we don't sugar-coat it.
- 03
Production
Code, pixel art, animation, chiptunes and sound design run in parallel sprints.
- 04
Playtesting
On real hardware, with real players. Balance, performance, game feel.
- 05
Release
App Store, Google Play, Steam – metadata, trailers, screenshots, review, launch.
- 06
New Game+
Updates, new levels, new platforms. A game is never quite finished.
