About

Retro Soul Studio is a game studio in Seattle. The name is the whole pitch: the games that stuck with us had a soul that still works today, and that is what we build, with modern tools and a pixel-art heart.

We make small, finished things. A kids' app with no ads. A set of browser games you can play on your lunch break. Each one ships complete and stays free or cheap.
