Game studio
Stonefink
A one-person studio. What gets made here are small Android games — the kind where a single rule has to carry thirty levels, and where the first level teaches the rules instead of an instruction screen.

Loop Army: Five Second Army
A puzzle game. You get five seconds, then time rewinds and your previous character repeats exactly what you just did. You solve the level together with a growing army of your own copies.

Kebab Runner
In closed testing. A description, screenshots and a release date will appear here once there is something to show.
About the studio
Stonefink is one person: design, code, levels, art and sound. The games go out on Android through Google Play.
That scale forces a particular way of working. Loop Army contains not a single image file and not a single audio file — the board is drawn in code out of blocks and rhombuses, and the sound is generated in the browser at the moment it needs to play. The whole app weighs five megabytes. This is not thrift for its own sake: changing how something looks means changing three numbers, not redrawing a model.
The second rule is that a game should explain itself. Loop Army has no instruction screen — the first level cannot be completed on the first attempt, so the first rewind arrives as a discovery rather than as an order.
