A small studio making games that are easy to pick up and worth coming back to.

I'm Noah, and Bare Games is my studio. My day-to-day background is software development, mostly web apps, but making games is what I've always wanted to do. I tried learning Unity a few times over the years, and it finally stuck once I had a specific project to build.

That project was a remake. In high school, my brother and I made a phone game called Touch the Balls, where you survive an endless wave of colored balls that each behave differently. Rebuilding it as Touch the Balls VR taught me the engine, and adding online multiplayer taught me networking the hard way.

Corridor VR came next. I had a much bigger game in my head, so I took the idea I liked most, trading places with your reflection, and built a focused puzzle platformer around it.

Shunter brings the studio back to phones, where that first game started. It's a puzzle game about real railway shunting, with cheerful engines, 100 puzzles and nothing rushing you along.

Thanks for playing.
