Scribb: Sudoku

Sudoku you write by hand. Write a number with Apple Pencil and it turns into a typed one, right in the square.

Scribb is a Sudoku game for iPad built around Apple Pencil. Every square takes handwriting: write a digit and it becomes a clean, typed number, so it feels like a paper puzzle book that keeps itself tidy.

Hellenica

A thousand years of the ancient Mediterranean, played out in real time. Start as one polis among many and see how far your version of history diverges from the one that happened.

Business Tycoon

A clicker about compounding. Start with one business, reinvest what it earns, and buy your way into assets that keep earning while you're not looking.

The whole game is one idea taken seriously: money that makes money. Every upgrade is a bet on how patient you are.

Getting ready for the App Store

the game is feature-complete: handwriting entry, four-sided notes, Apple Pencil hover, double-tap and squeeze, and a Library of solved puzzles. Now polishing before submission.

The studio has a front door

studio.ffluxx.com is live. Both games now have somewhere to be seen while they're being made, rather than waiting until there's something to sell.

Time, and how much of it to simulate

A thousand years is a long time to hold in a real-time game. Working out which centuries deserve detail and which can move quickly.

Making patience feel like a choice

An idle game lives or dies on the shape of its curve. Tuning the early upgrades so reinvesting feels like a decision rather than the only option.
