We've released three games so far: a retro arcade chase, a political strategy game and a block puzzle. Each one started as a single idea we kept wanting to play.
A free block puzzle game with a daily challenge.
Drag blocks onto an 8x8 grid and clear full rows and columns. Clear on back-to-back moves to multiply your points, and once a day, play the same board as everyone else.
A political strategy game. How long can you stay in power?
You run the country one swipe at a time while crises, scandals and bad press land on your desk, and you spend Political Capital to fix what you can behind closed doors.
The classic maze chase, reversed. Corner every ghost before they drain the grid.
Ghosts are draining the energy cells on the grid, and you have to catch every one of them first. Ten levels, each with its own mix of ghosts that chase, ambush or wander.
Fold the magic paper and bring every animal to its twin.
Drag the paper to fold it, and when two twins meet they come alive and walk home together. Mind who the flap lands on.
Thoughts is the first thing we've made that isn't a game.
A journal that sorts out your to-dos.
Write, talk or photograph a handwritten note onto one page for the day. When you're done, Thoughts picks out the things you need to do and adds each one to the right list.
Playpen Studios is a small independent studio. We make games we want to play ourselves, and we release them when they're fun rather than when the feature list is done.
Each game handles your data differently, so each has its own privacy policy, linked from its page. All three games are free to download. Statesville has in-app purchases and an optional profile for its leaderboards. Ghostpen lets you sign in to keep your progress. Linestone has no account, and its only ads are optional ones on Android, watched for an extra power-up.
