ABOUT

Hi, I'm James 👋

Ruff Robot is an independent game/software development studio based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia.

 

Formed in mid 2017 with a scrapbook full of ideas, Ruff Robot set about piecing together one little title at a time. Taking ideas from initial concept through to full release on both mobile and desktop platforms.

 

Primarily focused on the mobile platform, I strive to achieve engaging game play / experiences coupled with clean crisp minimalist design.

 

By offering my apps free-to-play, I’m able to connect with users around the globe in over 150 countries.
