Giant Carrots at Kew
It’s spring, the tulips and lilacs are out, the sun is (intermittently) in the sky – it’s the perfect time to wander along to Kew Gardens anyway, but if you needed any extra motivation, how about an enormous vegetable garden of bouncy rubber carrots?

Tiny Games funded on Kickstarter!
We’re delighted to announce that Tiny Games is, as the time of writing, sitting at around £28.5k funding on Kickstarter with about 22 hours to go. So, barring some kind of concerted campaign to remove hundreds of pledges before time, it looks like we made it!

Tiny Celebrity Game Designers
If you’ve been following our Kickstarter you may have read the bit where we mention celebrity game designers. You probably read it fast, though, because there was so much else to look at. You definitely didn’t stop and think hard about it, because if you did, your brain would have exploded a bit, which we know to be a fact because we just tried it and zpppftllmb.
Here’s why. Literally in no particular order, these are the people contributing new, unique, unpredictable, wonderful games that YOU will get to play if you back the project at any tier.

Hunted gowks and April fish

Easter Games
We’re in the middle of a Kickstarter for our Tiny Games App (BACK US, IT WILL BE AMAZING), and it’s Easter weekend, so we were going to design some Tiny Games for Easter – but when we began coming up with ideas, we kept getting distracted by all the quick, fun, silly, gorgeous Easter games that already exist.

Triangulating the Flapjack Menace
Picture by sk8geekEven as far afield as San Francisco, Flapjack-gate has made waves. The harrowing tale of the child injured by a triangular flapjack has tugged at the heartstrings of citizens across the globe.

Tiny Games For Ad Breaks
