Here’s the game we’ve been working on for a while at Nolla Games:
Noita is a magical action rogue-lite set in a world where every pixel is physically simulated. Fight, explore, melt, burn, freeze and evaporate your way through the procedurally generated world using spells you’ve created yourself. You can find more info at http://noitagame.com/
It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog. There’s a good reason for it: laziness. Also I’ve been working on a very secret game with Olli Harjola and Arvi Teikari. Olli is known for being the guy behind the puzzle platformer The Swapper. Arvi is better known as Hempuli and he has created a ton tiny games and also the awesome Environmental Station Alpha. It’s been great working with such talented people and we’re very close to announcing our game. But before that we have to announce our company: Nolla Games.
I know it’s not that exciting to read about a company announcement. The only humans that get excited about company announcements are telemarketers (and most of the are really just robots pretending to be humans). So to appease the actual humans who have read this far we offer this gif as token of our gratitude. The gif teases our upcoming game. It is recorded in the engine that is used by our still unannounced and completely mysterious game of mystery.
More about our mysterious game of mystery in a week. (I hope).
Also to celebrate the announcement of our new company, we (me, Olli and Arvi) will livestreaming on https://www.twitch.tv/nollagames at 11 AM PST July 13, 2017. We will be playing a random selection of the over 100 games that they’ve created.

Crayon Physics Deluxe is out now for iPad! And it’s free for the first 24 hours. Get it from iTunes.
We finally made a proper iPad port of Crayon Physics Deluxe and to celebrate its launch we’re giving it away for free.
There’s a bunch of new stuff in this version of Crayon Physics Deluxe. Biggest of them being new music from C418 (of Minecraft fame).
We’re also getting ready to launch the Android version of Crayon Physics Deluxe on Google Play. The port is being done by Apportable and they’ve been doing a really great job. We’re still fixing few of the last issues before launching it.
Edit: The PC, Mac and Linux versions of Crayon Physics Deluxe are also free for the next 24 hours. Get them here: http://crayonphysics.com/free_crayon.php
Crayon Physics Deluxe is now available for the Android through Humble Bundle for Android. It’s the standard deal, you can pay what you want and you’ll get 4 to 5 other games for PC, Mac, Linux and Android. Games like: Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Splice, Waking Mars, Eufloria HD and Machinarium.
Humble Bundle release is sort of an beta release for the Android version of Crayon Physics Deluxe. When we’ve sorted out some of the bugs and patched up the game and added few other bonuses we’ll put the game on Google Play.
I lectured at Assembly 2011 about this idea I had had about why limitations are good for creativity. It’s more of an idea and I mostly have anecdotal evidence to back it up, but apparently people found it inspirational so here’s video of it.
Here’s the list of the games mentioned and links to their sites:
