TWEAKFAILS: Games, Apps, Shorts

Tweak the blue robot waving beside the TWEAKFAILS wordmark. Games, Apps, Shorts.

Indie studio, North Carolina

Polished games. Useful apps. Robot mishaps.

We make mobile games and genuinely useful little apps, and we run the TWEAKFAILS YouTube channel, home of Tweak the accident-prone blue robot. No clutter, no dark patterns: just things that are fun to play, nice to use and fun to watch.

About

A small studio with a clumsy robot mascot

TWEAKFAILS is an independent game and app studio based in North Carolina, USA.

We own and develop Trail Torque (in testing) along with Zesty Swap, Storm Saucer and PennyPing (in development), and we produce the TWEAKFAILS YouTube channel. Each game gets its own art style, from painterly off-road landscapes to juicy fruit and stormy alien skies.

Privacy policies for every title are linked below, and they are written in plain language.

Games that feel good

Juicy feedback, real physics and polish in every tap.

Apps that stay out of your way

Clean, focused tools without clutter or dark patterns.

Shorts worth a laugh

Blender-animated mishaps starring Tweak the robot.
