SHUM Games, with a pulse

Editorial interest 81/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An independent studio making mobile games, consumer apps, maps, sound, and prototypes from concept through launch.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-20 issue.

Why it surfaced

SHUM presents a real shelf of shipped work rather than a promise deck: Skullwyke is a pirate game for the browser, Lovim is a fishing companion with maps and forecasts, and Linkrot is a Chrome extension for catching dead links. Its line—“Small studio. Full cycle.”—is backed by a clear process spanning design, engineering, sound, stores, and live updates.
