About Skill Mode

We're a small indie studio that makes the games we want to play.

If we wouldn't play it, we don't ship it.

The Skill Mode team

Skill Mode started in 2025 because we wanted to make the kind of games we'd actually play: fast, a bit weird, and fun from the first minute. We don't chase trends. We make what we're excited about.

We're small, so we do everything ourselves, from the first prototype to the Steam page. That also means nobody else decides what's fun. We play our games constantly and keep changing them until they feel right.

Our first game, Boogie Cruise, is a racing mystery with boss fights and a nightclub hub. Our next one, Cafe Kinship, is a multiplayer music world in the sky, out now as a free download for Windows.

What we care about

Make something new

We want every game to feel different from anything else out there.

Fun comes first

A game can look great, but if it isn't fun to play, it's not done. Most of our time goes into how it feels.

Be straight with players

We'll tell you what's done, what's coming and what we got wrong. No overpromising.

Do it right

Being indie means no excuses. If something isn't good enough, we fix it.
