We make games.

Norware Labs is an independent game studio. Twenty small games for iPhone and Android, each built around one satisfying thing to do, and our first big game for PC on the way.

Coming to PC

Our first big game is coming to Steam.

Two worlds we have been building side by side are becoming one game. It is our largest project yet, made for keyboard, mouse and controller, with the same care for one satisfying thing to do that runs through every game on this page.

We will say its name when it is ready. Until then, here is what we can tell you.

The studio

A small studio that only makes games

We design, draw, write and build every part ourselves, from the first sketch to launch day and the updates after it.

  • Twenty games for phones

    Small games for iPhone and Android, released to both stores on the same day. Each one is its own game, with its own art, host and round.

  • Our first PC game

    A bigger game for Steam, in development now. The phone games taught us what a satisfying loop is; the PC game is where we take it further.

  • Built on our own engines

    Five game engines we wrote ourselves, for daily puzzles, reveals, pets, idle shops and world maps. A fix in one ships to every game on it.

  • One buddy across every game

    Every player gets a buddy who stands beside the host, wears what you have earned and travels with you from one of our games to the next.

Our games

Twenty games for your phone

Each one is built around a single satisfying thing to do, and all of them are free to play on iPhone and Android.

    Coming soon

  • Treasure hunt

    Magnet Fishing

    Cast a magnet, reel in without snapping the rope and see what the water gives up: a bicycle, a locked safe, maybe a lost crown.

    Coming soon

  • Virtual aquarium

    Fish Tank Pet

    Look after a barracuda and unlock eight more fish. Feed them, scrub the tank and decorate. The tank keeps living while you're away.

    Coming soon

    Link 42 cities with copper, then fiber, then cable across the ocean floor, until the whole world is online.

    Coming soon

    Coming soon

  • Nugget hunt

    Gold Panning

    Buy a bag of paydirt and swirl the pan so the light gravel washes over the lip and the gold sinks. Flakes, nuggets and gems to weigh and collect.

    Coming soon

  • Hens and eggs

    Chicken Coop

    Feed the flock, open the coop at dawn and shut it at dusk. Collect eggs coloured by breed and hatch chicks that take after their parents.

    Coming soon

  • Vintage finds

    Thrift Store

    A box spills onto the table and you have twenty seconds to spot the tells. Clean up the best find under the lamp, from a chipped mug to a lost painting.

    Coming soon

  • Cozy shop

    Bookstore Tycoon

    Stock the shelves by genre, follow the trending shelf, host a signing and open a café corner. The shop keeps selling while you’re away.

    Coming soon

    Election Simulator

    Sixty days to election night against a rival campaign: rallies, ad buys, three debates and event cards, then the states are called one by one.

    Coming soon

  • Forest hunt

    Mushroom Foraging

    Sweep the leaf litter, spot caps by shape and colour and cut each one cleanly before dusk. A field guide that follows the real seasons.

    Coming soon

    Coming soon
