Life on the Etch LLC builds mobile games and applications — and publishes novels.
We're a small studio that believes good work starts with a good idea — whether that idea becomes a game, an app, or a novel. From concept to launch we design, build, and ship it ourselves. Our focus is quality over quantity: every product we release is something we're proud of.
Mobile games with engaging mechanics, progression systems, and social features that keep players coming back.
Cross-platform mobile applications built with modern frameworks, designed for performance and usability.
Scalable backend systems with real-time data, secure authentication, and serverless architecture.
Independent fiction, carried from manuscript through editing, design, print, and worldwide distribution.
A competitive jigsaw puzzle game where you race the clock, challenge friends head-to-head, and turn your own photos into puzzles. Available on iOS and Android.
