Hereboy Studios

We make mobile games in Cape Town, South Africa.

Two games in development. Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

Space Odyssey

Climb / Collect / Escape

Space Odyssey is a pixel-art space climber for phones. Bounce up procedurally generated climbs, collect minerals, dodge spores, meteors and fireballs, and outrun the gas, dust or lava rising from below to reach the extraction beam.

Spend what you bring back on suit and ship upgrades, then push on to the next world.

  • A story in three chapters, across 13 worlds
  • Five levels per world, three stars per level
  • Daily Climb, a new challenge every day
  • Odyssey, an endless mode for going as far as you can
  • Upgrades, pets and missions

Piste

Tilt / Parry / Lunge

Piste is first-person épée fencing, played by moving your phone. A small tilt moves your point. Tilt further to advance, retreat or lean out of the way. Flick forward to lunge.

The blades are solid and physically simulated, so parries, beats and ripostes come from what your hand does, not from a button.

  • Bouts to five touches or three minutes
  • A circuit of six opponents, each with their own style
  • Whole-body target, scored as in épée
  • Two-phone matches over local Wi-Fi
  • Practice mode and unlockable kit

  • Choosing a fencing kit and blade

About us

Hereboy Studios is an independent game studio based in Cape Town, South Africa. We design, build and publish original games for iPhone and Android.

We are a small team by choice. Every game we make starts with one idea that has to feel good in the hand within the first minute, and we keep working on it until it does. We want our games to be quick to pick up, easy to understand and worth coming back to.

We are currently preparing our first two titles, Space Odyssey and Piste, for release on the App Store and Google Play.
