An idea worth chasing: a mechanic, a mood, or a doodle that will not leave us alone.

Fast, ugly, playable. We find the fun before anyone draws a final sprite.

Launch & beyond
Store pages, trailers, platforms, release day, and updates long after it.
The studio
Small on purpose
Whimsystems is a tiny team that makes games that feel good in the hands and leave room for surprise. We design, build, and publish our own titles, and we stick around to support them long after launch.
We are early, we are curious, and we would love to have you along for the ride.
Fun first
If it is not fun in greybox, art will not save it.
Systems with soul
Numbers serve feelings, never the other way round.
No crunch
Healthy schedules make better games.
