About the Developer

Bio

Name / Studio Name

Tom Sutton / Malamute

Location

Canada

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.

    Great

    I don’t have anything bad to say about any of these games. I love them all and hope Modretro keeps publishing new titles.
