Instant Joy
Low-threshold interactions that reward exploration on first touch.
Persistent Threads
Small progress systems so short sessions add up to meaningful outcomes.

MoM growth
Active loops, short sessions and consistent return visits power our community. Micro rewards and visible leaderboards keep exploration contagious.
Player retention
Curiosity-first design yields strong day-7 retention for our top experiments. We prioritize clarity, quick feedback, and delight.
Our approach
We treat every small idea as a playable prototype. Design, ship, observe — then refine. That loop turned prototypes into a catalog of bite-sized worlds.
ArcadeLoom started as a studio notebook. A few friends sketched microgames on napkins and built tiny servers that stored progress. The first playable drew unexpected attention: a thirty-second loop with surprising depth. That taught us something simple — compression is a craft. We learned to compress meaning into moments: a mechanic, a choice, and a persistent thread to bring players back.
