Independent mobile game studio

Bright, tactile games for your phone.

ShadeTap is an independent studio. Every game starts from one clear mechanic you can learn in seconds, and we polish each tap, sound and animation until it feels right in your hand.

Studio

One clear idea per game, polished until it feels right.

ShadeTap is an independent developer of mobile games. We design for phones first: games you can start in seconds, understand without a manual, and come back to because there is always a next step to master.

  1. 01

    Clear core mechanics

    Every game is built on one rule you can explain in a sentence.

  2. 02

    Mobile-first interaction

    Designed for touch, portrait play and short sessions.

  3. 03

    A distinct identity for every game

    Its own color, sound and mood, so no two games feel alike.

  4. 04

    Polished player feedback

    Every tap answers with motion and sound, and with haptics where the game supports them.

  5. 05

    Easy to start, room to grow

    Early levels teach gently. Later ones ask for real planning.
