Hey guys! Awhile ago I gave a sneak peek at our game SmuggleCraft. I couldn’t talk a whole lot about it before, but now that we have officially announced with Sony I can! SmuggleCraft is a quest-based hovercraft racing game coming out on Ps4 (We are Sony exclusive), and Steam (PC, Mac, and Linux) in Spring 2016! We are working on our Greenlight currently, if you like our game, throw us a “Yes!” on Steam! We would greatly appreciate it! The game features procedural tracks influenced by quests, AI Hovercraft Racers (Including Police, Bounty Hunters, and other Smugglers), MultiPlayer racing, and modular ship parts acquired through crafting.

We have been making mobile games for the last 4 years, and we wanted to do something bigger, but it never seemed like the right time. We originally planned on keeping SmuggleCraft pretty small, but as we showed local industry peers, we were getting good feedback, and SmuggleCraft was turning out to be really fun! We were excited, and our ideas for the game grew. We realized that we couldn’t do everything that we wanted to do in the original timeframe we gave ourselves, so after serious consideration, we decided to take the plunge and dedicate the time to make our studio’s first large scale game. We wanted to do something different with SmuggleCraft, no repetitive circular tracks, where you heavily rely on memorization. We hoped to make a racing game that you have never played before. With creative tracks, fun quests, and an intriguing story through a branching narrative. Keep an eye on our tumblr for more news, gifs, and screenshots of our upcoming title SmuggleCraft! Also shoutout to all of the awesome people we met at Anime STL 2015! Thanks for hanging out with us and playing our demo!

Hey dudes! Remember when I mentioned we were working on a new title? I have a teaser screenshot to show you today, the game is coming along really AWESOME, and I will tell you more about it soon. Here you go!

Hey dudes! Inspired by our friends bscotch, we speed developed a game called Hero Chomp! It turns classic arcade upside down, where you play the bad guy, and you have to stop the hero(es)!  It has a simple one button mechanic, where you stop the Evil King Frog so he can chomp the heroes and avoid the bombs!  It is available on Android now, and will be out on iOS soon!

Hey dudes! We have an announcement about a game we are working on! We are making a game for a local (super awesome) donut shop named Strange Donuts! (tumblr | facebook)

No doubt if you are in the St. Louis area you have heard of them.  We don't have much to show just yet, but I can show some character sketches and a screenshot! The game will be an endless runner where you are being chased by comical enemies and you use donuts to fend them off! However, they are not your only problem! Maplewood is also having some pretty inconvenient street issues, with all of these alligators and open manholes everywhere, you better watch out! Collect coins and donut power ups to increase your score! The donuts are being based off of actual donuts that can be purchased at the store, and each one will have its own special ability. Try them all and pick a favorite! Then, go to the shop, and find that donut to see how awesome it tastes! The best of both worlds! Expected launch will be March 1st! The strange game will be available on iOS and Android!

Hey guys! Those of you who have been following us for awhile may remember the puzzle platformer we had a kickstarter for, Something Fragile! As we promised, we have been working on it when we have the time, and we have produced an alpha demo of the first level! This demo has new, remastered art, and some sample puzzles you may find in the game. The demo is available on Windows, and Mac. (Don't worry linux dudes, we haven't forgot about you!) This release is super early, so there’s still a lot to work out, but we’d love to get your honest feedback on what we have so far. You can submit feedback on the download page. If you enjoy our game demo, and would like to support us, you can donate to the project here. Cool thing is, you still get rewards for donating!

Hey dudes! We published a new mobile game recently! and best of all, IT IS FREEEEEE. This wonderful game is called The Flip! It is a fast paced memory game, where you have to tap the cubes that DIDN'T move. Sounds easy, right? NOPE! It starts out pretty easy. Then, as you continue playing, you can unlock more difficulty levels, where the cubes move faster, and there are more to memorize. There is a timed, and an endless mode. Ben worked super hard on it, so you should check it out! Download it here: iTunes  Android Credits: Our very own Ben Triola, for the game development, and Dana Huth for the design! Here are some screen shots!
