Our beloved 2021: Moon Escape is now part of the Handheld Heritage Bundle on itch.io!
We love the retro scene, and we’re always happy to support it in any way we can. The Handheld Heritage Bundle is a lovingly curated collection of 30 neo-retro indie games inspired by the golden age of handheld gaming, the Game Boy era, and we’re proud to be part of it!
The bundle brings together 26 developers celebrating everything we grew up with: chunky pixels, stubborn cartridges, and games that didn’t need a day-one patch to be memorable. It features a wide variety of pixel-driven experiences, all playable on original hardware. So maybe it’s finally time to find those batteries, power up your old friend, or your shiny new retro console, and give them a try.
This is a great way to support fellow indie devs and the entire GB development scene, helping to keep the retro handheld spirit alive.
Big news from the Caracal spaceship, our Tommaso has officially been nominated Best Italian Game Designer of 2026 at the Dstars Awards!
What makes this win special? The votes comes from other developers, the kind of people who know what are the difficulties behind making a game and how much dedication does it take.
For those who don’t know the initiative, the DStars Awards it’s a project born in 2019 to put the spotlight where it usually isn’t too much: on the humans behind the games.
And it’s them that we want to thank, because we couldn’t have done this without everyone who voted.
So a huge thank you to all our fellow colleagues!
Let us cook, we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
We develop indie games with creative gameplay and immersive stories.
