Small games, drawn by code.

jwl works makes small games in Washington. Every texture, every animation and every note is generated at runtime by code we wrote — no audio files ship at all, and the only image files are the letters.

Mool: Chroma key art — a pale slime beneath a ceiling of green goo

Coming soon to Steam

A top-down roguelite where you are the monster. Absorb colors, mix them into impossible forms, and tear down the “heroes” who farmed your kind. Nine apex awakenings, hand-built rooms dealt fresh every run, and an altar that trades your curses for power.

What it is

  • 20–30 minute runs, 5 stages, 3 difficulties.
  • Five colour atoms mix into 30 forms and 9 apex awakenings. The colour is the weapon.
  • Curses drop where blessings should. The altar trades them — the more you carried, the more it gives back.
  • 100% procedural pixel art and sound: every texture and every note is generated at runtime by our own code. No audio files ship at all; the only image files are the bitmap font atlases.
  • Hand-built rooms, dealt fresh every run. Rebindable keys and gamepad support. Nine languages.
