About the studio

A small, independent studio making games, cool apps, and useful story-driven tools.

Burnt Thumb Works builds things worth playing with — original browser games, practical apps, and tools with a bit of story to them.

The studio works small and ships real things. GrimmKart.io is free to play in your browser today. The Hook and Skein, Garden Sage, and Pantry Panda are coming along, and we post prototypes and experiments in the Lab as they take shape — we'd rather build in the open than disappear for a year and surprise you.

What we're about

Hand-made over mass-produced. Things that respect your time and attention. Small, original ideas carried all the way to something you can actually use or play.

We also build for other people

Beyond our own games and apps, the studio takes on a limited amount of work for others — websites, apps, tools, and the practical AI workflows behind a small operation. If you've got something in mind, here's what we can build, or just get in touch.
