Six games

Tiny worlds for the minutes in between.

MiniScape Games makes small, sharp games for your phone — the kind you start at a bus stop and put away when your stop arrives. Portrait, one thumb, no fuss. Four are out now on Google Play; two more are on their way.

Six Android phones in a fan, one game on each: Midnight Dash, Shift, SWAP, Alone, Tilt and LOOP.

Release 004 — out now

Alone is out. Our fourth game is on Google Play.

A calm build-and-tend game about a little droid left behind on a quiet planet: clear the scrap, build a home, wake the helpers and turn the island green again. It went live on 9 October 2026 — free, no ads, no account, never a game over, and it works offline.

Release 003 — out now

SWAP is out. Our third game is on Google Play.

A sweet match-3 on a little floating island: swap two pieces, line up three and watch them pop. It went live on 29 September 2026 — free, no ads, no account, no lives and no timers. Boosters are earned by playing well, because there is nothing to buy.

Release 002 — out now

LOOP is out. Our second game is on Google Play.

A calm puzzle about a line of little robots that keep walking until you step in: give one of them a skill and the whole line follows the path you made. It went live on 23 September 2026 — four worlds, 25 levels and nine skills, free, no ads, no account, and it works offline.

Release 001 — out now

Shift is out. Our first game is on Google Play.

A calm puzzle about turning floating islands until the path connects. It went live on 11 September 2026 — free, no ads, no account, and it works offline. It was the first MiniScape game you could actually install, and it is still the one to start with.

Six games

Four out, two on the way.

All six are portrait, none of them has ads or a shop inside, and every one of them is finished when it is finished. Shift, LOOP, SWAP and Alone are on Google Play now.

On the way

Two more, nearly there.

Tilt is finished and goes up on Google Play any day now; Midnight Dash is in its last round of testing. They go up when they play well, not when a calendar says so.

The studio

Why I started MiniScape.

MiniScape Games is a small game studio in the Netherlands. For now that means one person, four games out on Google Play, two more on the way, and a plan that goes further than all of them.

Questions

The things people ask first.

What is MiniScape Games?

The game studio of Aivion Studios, based in the Netherlands. It makes small phone games in portrait, playable with one hand, with no ads and nothing to buy inside them.

Which games are there?

Six. Shift, an isometric turning puzzle, LOOP, a puzzle about robots that keep walking, SWAP, a sweet match-3, and Alone, a cosy game about one droid in a quiet world, are out now on Google Play. Tilt, a sliding island puzzle, follows any day now, and Midnight Dash — Neon Overdrive, a neon lane-runner, is still in testing.

Do the games cost anything?

Shift, LOOP, SWAP and Alone are free, and Tilt will be too. Midnight Dash will be a premium game, bought once on Google Play. None of them has advertising, in-app purchases or a subscription, so there is nothing to buy inside any of them.

Do the games collect data?

No. No analytics, no crash reporter, no advertising SDK, no account. Everything you do stays in the app storage on your own phone.

Are they on iOS?

Not yet. Shift, LOOP, SWAP and Alone are on Android now and the others follow on Android first; nothing is announced for iOS.

How do I hear when the next one is out?

Keep an eye on the developer page on Google Play, where every MiniScape game appears the day it goes live, or on the MiniScape Games channel on YouTube, where each one gets its trailer — or check back here. There is no newsletter and no sign-up form, because nothing on this site collects an email address.
