About Brainfart Studio
Brainfart Studio is an indie game development studio currently run by one person, building toward a small team of three to five people.
The focus is metroidvanias and precision platformers. Games that feel incredible to play, grab your attention visually, and use music to tell a story. The kind of game you finish and immediately want to tell someone about.
That means movement that feels top notch from the first second. Art that has a distinct identity, whether pixel or hand drawn. Music that is melodic, thematic, and fits the world. Every discipline matters. None of it is an afterthought.
The Person Behind It
My name is Mitchell. I’m a professional web developer by day and a game developer by obsession.
It started on Thanksgiving 2021. My nephew asked me if I knew how to make video games. I didn’t. But I told him I could find out. I went down the rabbit hole that night and never came back up.
In the five years since, I’ve built dozens of small games, numerous prototypes, competed in game jams, run a game dev YouTube channel, and was invited to guest judge a game development tournament. Now I’m working on my first commercial release and building this studio.
Brainfart Studio exists because I fell in love with making games and never stopped. The plan is to turn that into something bigger: a small team, great games, and a studio worth being part of.
