How It Started

I started out making games in RPG Maker and GameMaker back when I was a teenager. It took a couple of decades, but I eventually learned to program in C and began making games for the Game Boy.

Other Games / Projects

Outside of indie game dev, I’ve worked as an animation lead on Paw Patrol and contributed to three feature films with Sony Pictures Imageworks.

Fun Fact

Every Game Boy game I make has one big constraint: it has to fit into 32 kilobytes or less. That challenge keeps things interesting!

The Idea

Why I Made This Game

I wanted to create something lean and focused – with a clear design hook – to teach myself Game Boy development.

What Makes This Game Special

I’ve always loved games that let you get comfortable, and then slowly ramp up until you're just barely keeping up. That rising suspense is so much fun – and I really feel like I captured that feeling here.

You'll Love This If...

You're a puzzle game fan, skill mastery seeker, or a player who enjoys mobile-style games with tight mechanics and replayability.

Inspiration / Influences

Tetris, Panel de Pon, Tetris Attack, Puzzle League – those kinds of mechanically satisfying, endlessly playable puzzlers.

Favorite Feature

Trying to unlock all the achievements as fast as possible is a constant challenge. It keeps things replayable and gives you that “just one more run” feeling.

    Super-Addictive little Puzzler in Your Pocket

    Puzzle games work really well on handheld gaming consoles, so if that's your thing then be sure to pick this one up. The concept is easy to understand, easy to pick up, easy to put down, and just a lot of fun that delivers the perfect scratch for that brain itch you get when you want 5-10 minutes of puzzle gaming. The music (especially Track 1, IMHO) is worthy of the title "ear-worm," and gives you that feeling you used to have as a kid -- when you know all you have to worry about is arranging those little pixelated blocks, and the rest of the world falls away. This one calls to me a lot as a busy adult, and I never get tired of burning through a few levels... Patchy Matchy is a perfect "match" for my Chromatic!

    Fun puzzle game

    This is a great little puzzle game, it's one of my favorites to pull out for bus rides. I love that it gives you the option to customize difficulty and speed each time. Makes a great substitute app game.

    A cute and straightforward puzzle game.

    It's a great game for children. The in-game achievements are a nice feature.

    A simple no thrills pass time game.

    As titled, a fairly basic puzzle game with a price to reflect, you could just as easily spend 2 hours on it as 20mins.
