Samyu Studio
Independent mobile games · ForHisKingdom LLC · Austin, Texas
One thumb. No tutorial.
Samyu Studio is one person making small mobile games that explain themselves. You open one, you understand it in about three seconds, and it is funny before you have decided whether you like it. Hold the button and you have already learned the first game.
01 / The first game
Poli Fartride
A one thumb endless runner where cartoon politicians fly across the capital on nothing but their own catastrophic digestive decisions. Hold to fly. Release to fall. That is the entire control scheme.
- Six stages of facial ruin, and the longer you hold the worse it gets
- Subpoena missiles, red tape, angry pigeons, paparazzi drones
- A deliberately bipartisan cabinet to unlock, from free to $100,000
- Free to play, no login, works with the wifi off
In testing · App Store and Google Play next
02 / The rules
Three rules I do not break.
One thumb, no tutorial.
If a game needs a second hand or a screen explaining which button does what, it is not finished. You should be able to play it with the hand that is already holding the phone, standing up, on a bus.
Nothing to sign up for.
No account, no email, no cloud save you did not ask for. Your progress lives on your device. The games run on a plane, in a basement, with the wifi off, and the privacy policy is short enough to actually read.
Free to find out.
You get to learn whether a game is fun before anybody asks you for money. Ads are optional and buying anything is optional. If the first sixty seconds are not worth it, nothing after them will be either.
03 / Who
One person, one desk.
I am Samuel Yu, the founder and sole member of ForHisKingdom LLC, which trades as Samyu Studio. I write the code, direct the art, cut the clips, and answer the support email myself, which is why a reply comes back from a person instead of a ticket number. The company is based in Austin, Texas and builds for iPhone and Android.
Bug reports, press, or a question about a game, all to the same place:
