Field notes

The studio says its games are written directly for the listed hardware, and breaks out the technical approach by console family rather than presenting one generic retro target. Sugar Glider’s Adventure is described with 20 rounds, boss battles, and branching routes; the page also labels a three-level demo as being in Polish. Private web-playable demos and video packages are offered to publishers and press by request.
