Tucunare is live
Jul 25, 2026
The game is out. You can play it right now.
You control a school of fish. One leads. The rest follow.
You eat things smaller than you. Followers accumulate. Enough followers and your leader transforms — shrimp into tambaqui, tambaqui into piranha, piranha into anglerfish. Keep the streak alive and you'll be running something the river is afraid of.
the food chain.Why this game
We've shipped before. Pew Pew Stars as an example (just removed) was our pipeline test — a game we built to prove we could move from idea to live product quickly. It worked.
Tucunare is different. This is the first game we built because we wanted to play it. The underwater food chain as a power fantasy felt like something worth making. We liked the idea enough to commit a month to it.
The result is the closest thing to a mission statement we've put out: small, polished, arcade games that are hard to put down and don't overstay their welcome.
What's next
We're watching how Tucunare lands. If you play it and like it, tell someone. If it gets traction, it goes to mobile.
We have more games coming...
See you there.
