Cycle 28
Our new game Captain Contraption’s Chocolate Factory is Out Now
PCGamesN describe it as "bizarrely cheap"
Captain Contraption's Chocolate Factory is our latest game. It is a contraption building game. Design and build your own machines to combine ingredients to make chocolates. Automate production using simple components to create ingenious contraptions, which are as satisfying to watch as they are to optimise.

The second game we released, and if I'm honest the one I'm most proud of. It's the only game I've ever worked on that almost made a streamer cry because it took them back to their childhood. It was the first game by a Welsh studio to be released on Nintendo Switch which led to be being nominated for a BAFTA. You have just six minutes to beat your high score and the fantastic track our composer wrote for us lets you know exactly how long you have left without needing to look at the clock.
Here is a video review which will give you an idea if the game is for you or not...

Using a simple set of tools you’ll need to automate production of a variety of sweet treats like chocolate covered toasted almonds. The game plays sort of like a mix between a programming game like Opus Magnum, a factory game like factorio and a contraption maker game like The Incredible Machine.
Check it out and let us know what you think!
Cycle 28 is part of the Going Rogue Festival
Cycle 28 is a small game we are both super proud of. If you enjoy score attack retro arcade games this one could be for you. There are a bunch of upgrades to unlock and a mystery to solve. If you aren't sure check out this review on Nintendo Life.
"Cycle 28 disguises itself as a solid arcade shooter with minimalist aesthetics but slowly reveals itself to be something far beyond that. It successfully manages to engulf the player in the mystery that led to the player character's current predicament and entices you to seek the truth, find answers to questions you didn’t know existed and attempt to break the cycle and… who knows, maybe freedom and a happy conclusion? We rarely get to play video games where each ‘Game Over’ offers the possibility to solve a mystery, so we kept coming back to it again and again - and so will you."

Making it Home Released Today
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1098220/Making_it_Home/
Whether you enjoyed the bare-knuckle lo-fi thrills of Cycle 28, or the chilled joy of watching something of yours grow in Intelligent Design, we think Making it Home has something for you.
And it starts with testing your vehicle building skills against the full range of twisty routes, tricky obstacles, and fiendish boss encounters that Sean and I have come up with. In doing so, you’ll unlock brand new achievements and challenge modes.
We’re finally letting everyone loose on the game’s full branching narrative too. Will you uncover the truth behind what’s happening to this ladybug and her animal family? And what relationships will you make or break along the way?
Sean and I can’t quite believe we’ve made it this far. It’s been three amazing but challenging years developing this game. We couldn’t be prouder of what the whole team has achieved. And we couldn’t have done it without the help and support of our amazing community here on Steam.
That’s you, that is. Thank you.
I hope you enjoy Making it Home as much as we have.

This month Sparks flew, we saw some significant Flex(o), and we finally answered the age old question of what to do with a/some drunken sailor (boi)...
But nobody could top Lord Bern.

April can be the cruelest month... but not for these leaderboard pilots!
And, do we spy one of the Devs sneaking some game time in here and making 4th place? Shouldn't he be working?
