NoviForged
The studio
A small studio with a narrow obsession
NoviForged makes short arcade games for phones. One is out, and the way it was built is the way the next one will be.
What we make
Arcade games you understand in one glance and replay in short bursts. No energy timers, no forced video before you are allowed to play, no five minute onboarding.
Every game gets a daily challenge that is identical for every player in the world. It turns a private high score into something you can argue about with a friend, which is the part of arcade games worth keeping.
How the studio runs
NoviForged is independent and self funded. There is no publisher deciding what ships and no investor deadline shaping the design, which is why features get cut the moment they stop being fun.
Everything is tested on real hardware before release, and a small group of testers plays every build to pieces before it goes anywhere near a store.
Timeline
One rope, one ball, and a hold to swing control scheme, written as a single page of canvas code.
Daily seeded courses, a world leaderboard and a full cosmetics economy land in the test build.
The studio is formed to publish HOOKED on Google Play and everything that comes after it.
