Our games.

Five projects are currently in development at Nerdbucket. Friendly Fire is in beta now — the rest are still in the shop. We'll announce store availability here when each is ready. Until then, here's a peek at what we're building.

Friendly Fire

Friendly Fire Beta

Real-world dodgeball with imaginary missiles.

Friendly Fire turns the room you're standing in into an arena. Fling a missile off your screen and it flies through real space toward your friend — who can hear it coming and had better move. Ultra Wideband ranging between iPhones makes a real sidestep a real dodge.

Currently in beta via TestFlight. Read more about Friendly Fire.

iOS Requires iPhone 11 or newer
Knot Today

Knot Today In development

A tangled rope puzzler with a bad pun for a name.

Knot Today is a hand-crafted puzzle game about knots — the real, messy kind. Each level drops a snarled rope on the table and asks one question: can you untangle it? Pull the right strand and the knot unravels in a single satisfying motion. Pull the wrong one and… well, good luck.

Designed for quick sessions with a surprising amount of depth once the advanced knots kick in.

DoomScroller app icon — a gold star over dark feed cards

DoomScroller In development

The scroll is the game.

DoomScroller is a satirical idle game about doomscrolling, played by doomscrolling. Scroll an infinite fake feed and rack up distance in units of escalating absurdity — gerbils to school buses to light years — while ridiculous autoscrollers, from a Sleepy Hamster to a Black Hole Accretion Disk, keep the feed moving even when you're away.

Coming soon to TestFlight. Read more about DoomScroller.

iOS
Exhausted

Exhausted In development

A gridlocked puzzle game about finding the way out.

Exhausted is a sliding block puzzle where one little red car is trapped in a packed parking lot. Slide the other vehicles out of the way, clear a path, and get the red car to the exit. Simple to learn, devious to master.

Hundreds of handcrafted puzzles that range from breezy warm-ups to mind-bending gridlock.

iOS PC
Screw Loose

Screw Loose In development

Pull the screws. Drop the blocks. Lose your mind.

Screw Loose is our take on the unscrew-puzzle genre. Each level stacks a small architecture of blocks, held together by a scattering of screws. Your job is simple: remove every screw. The catch is that the order matters, gravity is always watching, and one wrong move will send the whole thing crashing down around you.

Tight, tactile, and weirdly meditative once you find your rhythm.
