Little games, made for fun
Falò is Italian for bonfire. I'm one developer with more than 25 years of writing code, making the games my kids and I want to play — in my spare time, for the fun of it.
The games
Each game keeps its own site and its own world. This is the door to all four.
iPhone puzzle adventure
New GameEvery door lies but one.
Solve one hundred fair-play riddles, uncover why a kingdom was erased from every map, and find the ending hidden beyond its final door.
Free game, dreamed up by kids
Now free!
Every planet
Charge up. Let it rip. Fart to the Moon.
A silly one-thumb launcher for iPhone and iPad. Pick your character, fuel up on ridiculous foods, and blast off — every planet, from the Moon to Uranus, is free. Ad-supported, with an optional one-off $0.99 PERKS pack: two extra characters, bonus foods and no ads between runs.
Every planet is now free. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Uranus finale are open to everyone, plus planet replay, planet leaderboards and upgrade levels up to 15. Out of gas? Watch an ad for a second wind.
Landscape adventure for ages 6-10
Updated!
v1.1.1
Explore Whispering Woods, rescue friends who got separated on a camping trip, collect forest treasures, and build a cozy camp together. No timers, no fail states.
Five new bonus trails are included with Full Adventure. Find keepsakes, fill your journal, and unlock a Friends' Picnic for camp.
More small worlds are on the way, and several are close to done.
Tell me what you'd like to play →Behind Falò
It's just me: a prehistoric developer with more than 25 years of code, old enough to remember Perl scripts in cgi-bin folders. Falò is where I make the games my kids and I want to play.
For years, two things stopped me: time, and the fact that I can't draw. I can build an interface all day, but my drawings are like pizza with pineapple: technically possible, still an abomination. AI tools fixed the drawing part, and they help with the time too.
The ideas still start with me or my kids — a character, a silly mechanic, a place they want to explore — often as a dodgy sketch. I build the ones that still sound fun a week later.
I don't expect to get rich from this: licences and store fees cost more than the games earn. If the ads and the odd purchase cover a gelato with my wife and kids now and then, that's a win. Watching family and friends play something I made is the whole point.
See the tools I use, and why →I started with Apple's SpriteKit, which is why the games out now are iOS only. New games are built in Godot, so Android and Steam are next, with slightly bigger games: less bathroom break, more Sunday lunch.
Short sessions, clear rules. A game should be finishable.
Several new games are nearly ready, a couple of them with the intensity turned up. Still nothing gory, nothing frightening.
The ideas and sketches are ours. AI helps with the design notes, drawing, music, voices, translations and code, and nothing ships until I've checked it. Here's exactly what I use →
