Our goal with mobile games

Massi vs. José is free on mobile!!

Hello! Hope you're doing well.

We've been working on multiple mobile games since 2019, with the first release of "BallDog!". We know ads might be some kind of controversial, but for small indie developers like us, it's the only way to get some money out of our projects, keep them alive and fund the development of other games. Our current budget is very limited but we're trying to do our best!

We want to provide simple but fun experiences with games like Keep Falling or Amazing Copter, which are perfect for moments when you want to kill some time, while waiting for something or someone. Sliding Puzzle is more suitable for when you want to relax or exercise your mind.

Speaking of money, our most profitable game has been Keep Falling, with hundreds of thousands ad impressions and a very decent player base. We've recently released our latest game, Massi vs. José, for free on both the Play Store and the App Store, with the Steam paid version releasing later this year.

So, basically our goal with these mobile games, apart from building entertaining concepts, is to try to make enough money to become full-time indie game developers in the near future! We're still getting players and defining our target demographic, releasing free mobile games and upcoming projects on Steam.

We're so excited for the imminent release of Massi on Steam! Hopefully, we can share more details of our future projects being close to the release date or after it.

Thanks a lot for your support, stay tuned and keep playing!!

Skype is shutting down in May


Back in 2011, Microsoft announced they were buying Skype for $8.5 billion. It was the "successor" of Windows Live Messenger (MSN) as it replaced it completely. 14 years later, they're announcing that Skype is shutting down in May 2025 and being replaced by Microsoft Teams.

I remember using MSN a lot in the past, on my first days on the internet, I have fond memories with it. For Skype, I used it before discovering Discord. Are you going to miss it?

Pokémon Black (14 years later)

 


When I was a kid, I loved playing Pokémon. Pokémon Blue was the first version I had the honor to experience and since then, I was hooked with their gameplay, creature designs and story. Later on, I used an emulator on my PC to play Yellow, Ruby and Leaf Green versions. The first generation will be always my favorite but I was open to catch the new ones and explore their regions. I remember drawing the whole 2 firsts generations on a notebook and some other creatures from the 3rd and the 4th.

My aunt gifted me Pokémon Black Version for my Nintendo DS Lite, I don't remember quite well if it was at the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011. Before that, I had seen the game in a magazine called "Club Nintendo", which was very popular! I was really excited to begin my journey into this all-new region called "Unova".


My started was Oshawott, although the other ones looked really cool! I remember training a lot with wild Pokémon before challenging the gym trainers and leader. I really liked the new designs and the whole game felt like a deep breath of fresh air, and I know some Pokémon fans thought the same as me. The graphics and music were amazing (remember, this is a base DS game) and there were so much attention to details, the region felt so much alive! I remember there was some kind of online mode (was it related to dreams?) which allowed you to catch Pokémon with special stats. I got an Arceus lvl. 100 playing it.

Oshawott #501

Gym leaders had unique designs and very interesting personalities, including the Elite Four and the Champion. Even 14 years later, I remember fondly the hard training I had to endure in order to beat each one of them. For me, Black & White, maybe including their sequels too, were the peak of Pokémon. I think that after these games, including their sequels, the franchise lost its charm. This is my honest opinion, because I feel that something happened when they decided to do the full jump to 3D and leave the aesthetic of the 2D games behind.

I'm really hopeful that Game Freak would do an incredible job with the franchise, just like they did before losing their spark. I'm eagerly waiting for a mainline entry (better than Scarlet & Violet) for my Nintendo Switch, or even its successor, that runs smoothly, looks great and give us the experience we Pokémon fans know they can provide.

With success on sight

 


Hello! Hope you're doing well.

After thinking a lot about Gammes and its social media presence, I decided to create a simple blog using my beloved Blogger

Back in 2010-2011, I had a blog for videogame reviews and announcements. It was really cool! I really enjoyed my time writing on that blog and sharing my opinions with a small portion of the world.

Years have passed and now we're in 2025, who would thought we'd made it this far 🤩. This is a special year because we will release our first commercial game, Massi vs. José (you can play the demo for free and add it to your wishlist). We've been hard at work to deliver 40 unique levels in the final version of the game.

Also, we will continue developing smaller games for mobile, both Android and iOS. Massi will release on mobile and PC, but next bigger games will probably launch only on Steam. Stay tuned for more announcements about current and future projects!

We are pretty confident that this will be our year.
