Our story

A childhood dream. A new generation of adventures.

Inspired by the platformers I grew up playing in the '90s, Rocket & Oliver is a love letter to the games that made me dream of creating worlds of my own. Now, as a father, I'm bringing that childhood dream to life — with original characters, wild adventures and little pieces of my family's story woven into the game.

I started making games because I loved the magic of discovering a new world. Now I hope to share that magic with my son, and with everyone who remembers what it felt like to fall in love with a game.

Made with nostalgia. Built with love. Ready for a new adventure.
