Aftershock Arena New
Storm the castle, topple the titans
One of the first iPad games we ever built — made for our kids, who wanted a proper first-person blaster of their own. Storm a stone castle and clear out waves of jet-boosting robots with your laser, face the Warlord and his spinning discs of fire, then chase the fight into a lantern-lit pine forest where the acid-streaming Acid Titan waits. Three difficulty levels, two arenas, big boss battles — free on the App Store for iPad, with no ads and no in-app purchases.

Your toy box is the battlefield
A toy-scale tower-defense game played with classic green plastic army men.

Now out on iPhone and iPad — free, with no ads or in-app purchases.

Pop monsters, beat the boss
A bright, friendly first-person maze adventure for iPhone and iPad. Wander twenty colourful mazes, pop the googly-eyed monsters with your toy bubble blaster, collect keys and stars, and blast your way past the Monster King and a giant lava boss. A relaxed, kid-friendly take on the classic first-person shooter — on the App Store now, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
Get it on the App Store trending_flatBad Hare Night
Productive days, dangerous nights
Zoe (age 9) built this one all by herself — a first-person survival adventure made in Godot. Spend the peaceful days farming, fishing, cooking and building up your camp in the woods, then batten everything down when night falls and a glowing-eyed monster hare comes prowling. Roam a shared world with friends, ride through the seasons, and see how many bad hare nights you can outlast. A free Windows download on itch.io.

Explore the castle, win the cup
A top-down castle-grounds adventure where Jack trains for the Cowley Cup by beating three challenges — the Puzzle Tower, the Penalty Shootout and the Big Drive. Roam an open world, answer the wanderers' maths questions to unlock outfits like Knight, Wizard and Ninja, then collect all three stars and lift the cup as champion.

Hop home, dodge the traffic
Guide Zoe's frog across the busy lanes of Cox Road and Newmarket Road, all the way home to Cowley Castle without getting squished. Every safe trip and every fly you snap up earns coins to adopt pets — a kitten, a bunny, a unicorn, a dragon and more — and the traffic only gets faster the better you do.
Play Cowley Crossing trending_flatCowley Station
Two roads, one railway, get home
Hop Zoe's bunny from the Park up to Cowley Castle, dodging traffic on two busy roads and a fast train that sweeps the railway whenever the crossing lights flash. Grab carrots for bonus coins, adopt pets to line the castle parapet, and watch the speed climb with every trip you make.
Play Cowley Station trending_flatCowley Rat Race
Outrun the giant rat
Find your way out of a procedurally-generated hedge maze while a giant rat hunts you down. Grab cheese for points and race to the castle drawbridge — secretly a giant rat-trap that SNAPs shut on the rat behind you. Cornered? Trigger a ghost dash to turn intangible and slip straight through it.
Play Cowley Rat Race trending_flatCowley Critters
Flip, remember, match
A cozy pixel-art memory game starring ten hand-drawn critters, from a cheeky monkey to a sleepy owl. Flip two cards at a time, remember where each animal hides, and clear the whole board in as few moves as you can. Pick Easy, Medium or Hard, then chase your personal best.
Play Cowley Critters trending_flatCowley Snake
The classic garden chase
A cheerful pixel-art take on the Nokia-era classic. Guide a little garden snake to the apples, grow longer with every bite and stay clear of the hedge and your own tail as the pace climbs. Play with the keyboard, swipe controls or the on-screen D-pad, then try to beat your personal best.
Play Cowley Snake trending_flatCowley Gorillas
Bananas over the skyline
A bright, family-friendly tribute to the classic turn-based banana duel. Take aim from the rooftops, tune your launch angle and power, compensate for the wind, and knock the other gorilla off the skyline. Play hot-seat with a friend or take on the computer while the buildings break into little pixel craters.
Play Cowley Gorillas trending_flatCowley Tanks
Buy upgrades. Reshape the hill.
A two-player or versus-computer artillery game inspired by the classic Tanks games. Fire over a destructible hillside, earn cash for every hit, and spend it in the armoury on heavy shells and triple shots. Cash and upgrades carry into the next round, so a good hit changes more than just the landscape.
