ArcadeFoundry — Forge playful hits fast
We build compact, kinetic game slices that test ideas, tune feel, and recruit real players. Rapid prototypes, data hooks, and community feedback—crafted to spark memorable loops without heavy lift.
Teaser: Forge bold play: ArcadeFoundry crafts compact, kinetic game experiences with personality and measurable retention. Join rapid tests, curated jams, and playable prototypes that spark community.
Toolbox: Feel, Loop, Ship
Small teams use our kit to iterate core mechanics without full production. Playable mocks, telemetry hooks, and soft-launch patterns come bundled so your hypothesis ships in days.
Telemetry kit
Heatmaps, funnel hooks, and retention markers that tell a real story.
Playtest engine
Onboard players, collect sentiment, and iterate from feedback.
How it works
We begin with a focused question: what single interaction should feel delightful? From there we prototype a playable slice, instrument interactions, and run a closed jam. Data informs tuning until the loop performs against your KPI.
- Day 0: Brief — Clear win metric and scope.
- Day 3–7: Playable — Small loop shipped for testing.
- Day 7–21: Iterate — Data-led tuning and soft launch.

What playtesters say
"Sharp feel and immediate joy. We learned three ways to tweak the bounce after just one jam." — Maya R., Indie Producer
"Their telemetry surfaced a tiny friction that cost retention. Fixing it improved stick by 14%." — Jamal P., Growth

FAQ
How long is a sprint?
Typical window is one to three weeks depending on scope and instrumentation needs.
Do you ship builds?
Yes. We provide playable builds for web and lightweight native wrappers when required.
