Germany-based indie developer and artist of Rat King Entertainment. We did Tumblox (iOS) and Pitman (iOS/Win/Mac) and work now on environmentral puzzle TRI (Win/Mac). We love to be experimental and adore the good old times, when games didn't have more tutorials then content. And Achievements weren't gameplay. twitter: RottenHedgehog We take part in Ludum Dare, 7DRL and Global Game Jam.
