Independent Games / Weird Systems / Loud Ideas
We make games with arcade bones and a modern pulse. Clean movement, readable stakes, and the kind of rhythm that keeps you playing longer than you meant to. We build for the present tense.
Arcade and retro gameplay, rebuilt for modern hands
Independent work, careful choices, no wasted motion
Quiet for now. Better to show than promise
Studio Profile
Gerbodyne is an independent studio with a simple obsession: the kind of play that gets into your hands before it gets into your head. A good arcade game tells you what it is in a few seconds, then spends the next hour proving it has more to say than you expected.
We focus on bringing arcade and retro gameplay into the present without sanding away the spark that made it worth remembering in the first place. Fast loops, readable danger, a little style, and enough mystery to keep the lights on after midnight.
Current Project
Status: In Development
GRITRUNNER is a retro arcade-style space game built around speed, pressure, and the small private joy of slipping through impossible gaps with a second to spare. It has engines, dust, bad odds, and the sort of horizon that always seems to be asking for one more run. More details to come.
