Letter Lantern
A new word search every day.
A new letter grid every day, and free play whenever you like. Progress stays on your device and there are no ads. It is on its way to the Microsoft Store.
We make games and apps for Windows.
We are a small studio in Budapest. We publish our own products on the Microsoft Store, and Pixel Pawns is on Xbox too. We also build business software for companies and help them start using AI tools.
Budapest
Click or tap a piece to play a capture on the chessboard or an execution on the mill board.
The scene is drawn by a WebGL program we wrote, 24 KB gzipped. The figures are made from the Pixel Pawns and Millfall artwork. The ship is a 3D model from Sidera Imperii.

Chess where every capture becomes a duel.
The game follows the full rules of chess, en passant and the fifty-move rule included.
When one piece takes another, the two fight a short animated duel. Which of the more than thirty scenes plays depends on which piece takes which.
You can play the computer at four difficulty levels, or play a friend on the same device. On Xbox you play with a controller.

Nine Men’s Morris with pixel-art battles.
The game keeps the traditional rules. Pieces are placed first, then moved, and a player down to three pieces may fly.
Close a mill and one of your units executes one of your opponent’s pieces. There are thirty-three executions across four arenas.
You can play the computer at four difficulty levels, or two players can share one keyboard. After each match the game draws a woodcut-style picture of the battle that you can save.

PipPal
Reads out whatever you select.
PipPal lives in the system tray. Select some text in a browser or a document, press Win + Shift + R, and it reads the text aloud, while a small window shows how far along it is.
The voice is generated on your PC. The text is not sent to the cloud, and the app sends no usage data.
The base edition is open source. PipPal Pro on the Microsoft Store adds more voices and saving to an audio file, and with a language model running on your PC in Ollama it can summarize or translate the selected text.

Space strategy · PC
Sidera Imperii
Real-time space strategy you can pause.
You run an interstellar empire. From the star map you zoom into star systems and planets, and battles play out in 3D. Ships are designed from modules, and combat uses the same numbers the designer shows.
Head tracking · Windows
PlayerTempo
Head tracking for games with an ordinary webcam.
It uses an ordinary webcam to work out which way your head is turned, and moves the in-game camera to match. The output is TrackIR-compatible. Camera frames are processed in memory only. It does not track your eyes.

In your first email, just tell us what the job is and which systems it involves.
- SAP Business One
- Implementation and customization, moving data over from the old system, training the users and support at go-live.
- AI tools and development
- Bringing AI tools into your team’s daily work, with training. Features built on language models inside the systems you already have, such as summarizing documents or pulling data out of them. When the data cannot leave the company, the model runs on your own machines, the way PipPal Pro does.
- Integration
- Connecting web shops, CRMs and payment providers to the ERP through REST APIs.
- Custom software
- Web and desktop applications on .NET and TypeScript, replacing legacy systems, operation and maintenance.
