About Us


We are a husband and wife studio that someday hopes to make games full-time.

BOULDER was built in a custom Haskell 2D game engine we have been iterating on as we have been delving into Ludum Dare. The engine has recently become a bit more stable, which helped a lot this jam. The art was hand-drawn and animated in Clip Studio Paint.

We hope you can find fun in our eternal task.
