Hide No Seek

Hide No Seek - Single card social board game

I made a simple – maybe the simplest – board game! Its called Hide No Seek and it is available at the a print and play service The Game Crafter. Although if you want to play it you can also just print it out, or write the rules on a card with a sharpie.

The Game Crafter had a single card game design competition. You had to design a whole game with rules and everything on a single poker size playing card. I liked the challenge and ended up making a design I thought was rather obvious. As illustrated by this image of the card:

Hello! You found me! This is a GAME. And it is your turn. Hide this for someone else to find.

Noita – Early Access Release Date Trailer

August 29th, 2019

Noita – our roguelite in which every pixel is simulated – is coming to early access September 24th!



It has been a long and rewarding journey to get Noita to this point. I’m really excited to see people play the game. Even after working on Noita for way too many years, I still really enjoy playing the game. I think we have something special in our hands.

We do have a Steam page for our game. You can wishlist it there.

Nolla Games

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.
