History

Beginning

After a decade plus working in studios such as DICE, Crytek, Grin, Starebreeze and others, Anders and Rick started BandanaKid to try something different under the basic idea of "Big kids making small games". They wanted to spend time on gameplay and creativity and focusing on the small things that make games a joy to play, while bringing the experience from AAA studios to smaller games. They created Elli for the Nintendo Switch and released it in 2019. A colorful puzzle-platformer with an emphasis on exploration and magical moments. After the chaos of Covid-19 and some time prototyping various projects they landed on Marble Abduction! and started full-throttle development on the game.
