The Simple SeriesLittle tools. Good times.Original worlds. Familiar joy.
Selected original game concepts and artwork inspired by earlier gaming eras. These are design explorations; gameplay is not implemented.
Game conceptRoute a square delivery robot through a changing food court; deliver orders before cleaning drones close passages. No pellet maze or ghost pursuit pattern.
Crumb, a squat square teal delivery robot with an expressive black glass face, two warm cream square eyes, chunky black wheels and short articulated metal hands; cream delivery trays and tan food boxes are its signature props.
Game conceptSlide a rooftop launcher and pin falling socks to rotating clotheslines; matching pairs clears the sky.
Peg, a small cream rooftop launcher robot with a coral clothes-peg-shaped head, mint mechanical arms and a rotating orange laundry basket base. Signature objects are patterned socks and looping clotheslines.
Game conceptClimb an office with movable stairs while a broken copier ejects paperwork; restore power on each floor.
Otis, a sturdy adult elevator mechanic with a navy beanie, mustard jacket, rust-red tool belt and a square white battery backpack; he carries a folding copper staircase handle.
Game conceptA park inspector swings across absurd safety hazards and repairs them; the return trip uses the repaired route.
Ada, an older adult park inspector with brown skin, a silver bob, moss-green raincoat, orange climbing harness and oversized cream clipboard; she carries a folding yellow safety barrier.
Game conceptPilot a magnetic tug, split tangled junk, then tow sorted pieces to moving recycling docks.
Tuglet, an original small teal salvage spacecraft with an expressive pair of amber cockpit windows, cream rounded side pods, two orange thrusters and a copper magnetic tow claw. The craft is the recurring hero, with no human pilot in foreground.
Game conceptA spring-legged mailbox delivers fragile packages across rooftops; weight changes jump length and delivery order changes routes.
Posty, the same spring-legged red postal mailbox robot: curved-top red metal mailbox body, black recessed face with two cream oval eyes, small red side flag, silver spring knees, dark red boots and articulated black hands. Signature props are tan fragile parcels and a folding wooden-and-metal ladder. Never replace Posty with a human or a different mascot.
