Small games.
Sharp teeth.

We build strange little worlds with big personalities, crunchy systems, and absolutely no filler.

Honkshot

ArcadeActionCars

Fast cars. Big guns. One very loud horn. HONKSHOT is Junkbyte's high-octane arcade action game.

The junk drawer manifesto

We make games
the way raccoons
open trash cans.

Curiously. Persistently. With both hands.

01

Make it tactile.

Every click, bump, and bounce should feel alive in your hands.

02

Keep it strange.

The familiar gets you in. The unexpected makes you stay.

03

Cut the filler.

Respect the player's time. Keep the good bits; compost the rest.
