The studio

KinnyKat Studios is an indie game studio based in California. We make small, character-driven games for mobile and beyond — the kind that fit comfortably in your pocket and your life.

We're not chasing big-budget spectacle. We're chasing the feeling of a game that's warm, considered, and made with care. A game that's still on your mind a week after you set it down.

The founder

Zack founded KinnyKat Studios in 2026 to make the games he's always wanted to play — small, warm, lovingly crafted experiences that respect their players' time and stick with them after the screen goes dark. He's been a player his whole life; now he gets to be a maker.

What we believe

Three ideas show up everywhere in our work.

  • Games should respect their players. Your time and attention are real. The game's job is to give you something worth them.
  • Small can be enough. Not every game needs to be huge to be meaningful. A small idea, made well, beats a big one made carelessly every time.
  • Soft is a strength. Cozy, warm, low-stakes — these aren't lesser. For a lot of players, on a lot of days, they're exactly what's needed.
