We make lovable, puzzle adventures
& strive to broaden the appeal of thinky video games
We just launched Star Stuff!
A cosmic programming puzzle game about taking a big problem step-by-step. Program and work alongside bots to tackle the most important (and undoubtedly safest) task in the galaxy: fixing a star factory.
Star Stuff Edu Project
Ánimo Games is committed to making their games accessible to students everywhere. That’s why we’ve decided to launch Star Stuff Edu—a free, browser-playable version of Star Stuff with a curated set of levels and educator materials. Recommended for students ages 11+.
“Their coding mechanics and bot interactions immerse the player in procedural logic & systems thinking while keeping the programming mechanic simple & fun…As players move through the game, they gain confidence by having the agency to easily experiment with new mechanics and practice breaking down big problems one step at a time.”
