We make small games. The latest one is about a cult that worships the Metal Bird.
fun.ga is a small independent studio. Automates, our latest game, is in closed alpha and plays in the browser.

Automates
A plane landed on the island once. Only the tail is left, and the islanders built a fire under it.
You never give anyone an order. You draw one-way Paths on the ground and the followers walk them. Where a Path passes a hut, whoever walks it picks something up, drops it off or gets to work. Grass becomes rope, rope becomes nets, and sooner or later everything goes into the fire.
The fire grows, its light pushes back the fog, and the people standing out in the dark come over and join. There are 78 of them, each with a name, a face and opinions about your Paths.
Alpha keys go out on Discord, a few at a time.
Earlier games
Browser, Facebook and Android games from 2012 to 2020, several of them made for brands. Most can no longer be played, so the links go to pictures and trailers.
Money Makers 2020, Android. An idle business game by Paweł: start with simple jobs, play the stock exchange, build an office and try to end up a millionaire.
Tap Tap West 2017, Android. An idle western by Paweł: mine, trade, build up a town, then raid other players for their resources.
MooShells 2015, Facebook. A match-three game on a sunny beach: match shells across a map of levels, with a cow on holiday lounging in a swim ring.
Matchunk 2015, Facebook. Mahjong solitaire laid out as a path of 200 levels, made at Mohave Games in Warsaw.
Fast Fingers Contest 2013, Facebook. A typing race against ABBYY FineReader. Every typo costs you a finger, and your friends are the spare ones.
Actimel Space City 2012, browser. A city builder in space for Actimel, made at VML Poland: houses, factories, crafting and neighbours. The first version took under three months.
Mission: Strawberries 2012, browser. Tower defence with no towers: keep the UFOs off the strawberry fields. A mini-game of the Space City.
Mission: Warehouse 2012, browser. Sokoban with physics: a warehouse robot brings back as many packages as it can against the clock.
Mission: Hop Hop 2012, browser. A climbing game in the spirit of Icy Tower, from a school yard up to space. One player ever reached the Matrix level.
What we like making
Shown with Automates, since it is the one we are making now.
Every item in someone’s hands
We loved following one sack of flour from the mill to the bakery in The Settlers. In Automates every coconut, rope and radio is carried by a follower you can see.
A few people, known by name
We would rather you knew all 78 followers than managed a million. They join one by one, talk among themselves, grumble when someone blocks their Path and say good morning when you come back after a night away.
Music made by the work
Every hut plays its own drum while it works, and the followers talk in a made-up language on the beat. A busy island sounds like a band.
Who we are
Small enough to fit on one card each.
