Independent games from Aotearoa New Zealand
We make games for the TV, built around the remote in your hand and a screen across the room. One is a calm puzzle to settle into on your own. The other gets the whole room playing on their phones.
Our games
Both are made for the big screen first: text you can read from the sofa, every screen reachable with the arrow keys and OK, and nothing that needs a keyboard or a games controller.
A calm block puzzle for one player. Tumble shaped blocks end over end across floating sky islands, and settle each one into a socket that fits only one exact footprint.
A free Werewolf game for 5 to 12 people in the same room. The TV is the village square, and each player's phone is their secret role card.
The studio
Holoware Studio is one person in New Zealand who designs and builds every part of each game: the rules, the code, the art and the sound. Hollowmere is the village where Party Night's werewolves hunt.
Every screen works with the arrow keys and OK on a standard TV remote, and with a pointer remote. Text is sized to be read from across the room.
Tumblesky shows its ads between levels only, never during one, and Back always closes them. Party Night has no ads at all.
Neither game asks you to sign up, log in or give an email address. We keep only what a game needs to work, and our privacy page says what that is.
Tumblesky has no timers, unlimited undo, reduced motion and high contrast options, and every sound it makes is also shown on screen.
Playing at home
Our games run on the TV and are played from the sofa. Tumblesky needs nothing more than the TV remote. Party Night turns everyone's phone into a controller, with no app to install.
Both games are free to play. Tumblesky shows a short ad between levels now and then, which one purchase removes, and Party Night has no ads at all.
Email support@0h.nz and you will hear back from the person who made the game. The support page also answers common questions about Remove ads, refunds and data.
