Games

STACK & the Grumblepuff from Above

Stack just wanted to take a nap when grumbles started to fall from the sky! Dodge them, weave them and swerve to grab some coins as you find the source of your sleeping debacle... from above: the Grumblepuff.

Piperbob's Painting Service

Bob and Piper are terrible painters – literally the worst. They cannot agree on the colour to use, they get paint everywhere and sometimes they'll move in with you if you've got a good TV. But they're the only painters in town so they keep being hired.

Apprentice Godsight

The afterlife is very different to our world, and you’ll have to learn how to interact with it, using your eyesight.

Bob's Wee Swamp

It's just Bob out here these days, spending his time fishing all day and night on his little island. Help Bob fill out his leather fish notebook as he peacefully fishes.

Splat 2

The goal is to get as many points via making the red paint balls explode.  The arena loops on itself in classic surface of a torus geometry. The red paint balls are relatively difficult to hit, you only do damage to them while the paint is actively moving.

Emperor Augustus

This is a game about Augustus, the First Roman Emperor. You control Augustus though him getting power.

Frogtransmogrifier

You look after your frog you are presented with frog facts and different mini-games to help your frog to the next stage in its life cycle.

Thank you for visiting Charmful!

At Charmful, we focus on how the world can be more intuitive, fun and interactive. We have three active projects: STACK & the Grumblepuff from Above: play as STACK and fine the source of the grumbles. Words In: use your deduction skills to learn a language. PROTO & the Robotic World: program your trusty robot and stop the gnomes.

We're interested in improving systems by making them as engaging and as intuitive as possible, particularly in affordance (visual clues on how to do something – show, not tell) and its application to education. We use technology in new and unique ways and apply visual concepts to everything I do.
