Several Raccoons in a Trenchcoat

In this cooperative two-player arcade game you and your partner must balance a stack of raccoons riding a unicycle. Pedal forward, duck to avoid obstacles and bend over to pick up as many raccoons as you can to beat the high-score!

Experience a custom-built arcade input, where one player controls the unicycle with real bike pedals, while the other balances the character’s weight by tilting its head.

This game brings players closer, whether they are strangers, friends, enemies or lovers. It was developed for arcade and PC, using Unity, Procreate, Krita, Photoshop and Paint Tool SAI.

Several Raccoons in a Trenchcoat won Best Arcade Experience at the Gotland Game Conference 2023!

Haunted Heist

Haunted Heist is a competitive two-player party game built for local multiplayer. In this stealth-based pixel-art style game, one of you will take control of a sly thief, as they sneak into a giant mansion to steal its valuables. The other will play as an invisible ghost, searching through every corner of the mansion to catch the thief before they can escape. Can you outrun the ghost while uncovering the mansion’s secrets and hidden items, using only your trusty flashlight and night-vision goggles, or will you outsmart the thief as you merge through walls and use your special ghost vision to hunt them down? Exciting cat-and-mouse gameplay awaits in this hair-raising 2D title developed for the Nintendo Switch!
