About the studio

Moon Cartridge is a one-person indie studio from Brazil, run by Flávio Henrique Bonfim, a developer who grew up blowing into cartridges.

The games are 2D and 2.5D, in pixel art, in many genres, with a soft spot for metroidvanias. Most of them run in the browser, with nothing to install, and are free to play.

New games, trailers and devlogs come out on itch.io and YouTube.
