About the studio

Bauman Games, LLC is a small family studio in the United States — a father and son, with a little audio help from an uncle. We build the kinds of games we wanted to keep returning to ourselves: each one a single satisfying idea, art-directed with care, written with a sense of humor, and made to respect the player's time and wallet.

We care about animation polish, satisfying reveal moments, a cohesive look we obsess over, and economies that don't feel adversarial. We don't care about mass-market engagement hooks designed to manufacture compulsion.
