Support

We answer our own support.

No bot mazes. No ticket-number purgatory. A real person from the studio — often the person who built the thing — reads every message that comes in.

Tell us what's up and we'll sort it out. Usually within a couple of days, and always like a human wrote it.

FAQ

The usual questions.

Short, honest answers. If yours isn't here, just ask.

How do I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by the app store you bought from — Apple's App Store or Google Play each have their own refund process, and that's where the purchase actually lives. Start there. If you hit a wall or something doesn't add up, email us and we'll help you get it sorted.

Do your games need an internet connection?

Generally, no. You buy the game once and it's yours to play offline — on a plane, in a tunnel, wherever. A few community or online features (where a game has them) need a connection, but the core game doesn't.

Are there in-app purchases?

No. Never. You buy the game once and own the whole thing forever — no coin packs, no loot boxes, no "premium" tier, no paywalled content waiting behind the fun. What you paid for is the full game.

How do you handle my data?

We don't mine it and we don't sell it — that's baked into how the studio works, not a setting we flipped on. The full story is in our manifesto, and each game spells out the specifics on its own privacy page: Saltroad, Matchforge, and Starlift.

How fast do you reply?

A real person reads every message, usually within a couple of days. We're a small studio, so it's not an instant chatbot — but it is a human who can actually fix things, not a script reading off a card.
