Hey! I’m Alex Howell, an independent game designer and developer who loves building weird, playful, and experimental games. More importantly, those two amazing cats are my boys Dug (pink nose) & Carl (spotted nose). 

I’ve spent over 16 years working in game development across console (NCAA Football), mobile (Beyblade Burst), VR (NFL Pro Era) and interactive toys (DropMix), but these days I’m especially focused on solo and small-scope projects where I can move fast and try ideas that don’t fit neatly into a big studio pipeline.

A lot of my games start as tiny experiments or game jam ideas and then grow from there. I love rapid prototyping, tight core loops, and games that feel good to interact with, even if they’re a little strange.

On itch.io, you’ll mostly find:

• Small experimental games and prototypes

• Game jam entries

• Short-form games built around a single mechanic or idea

• Projects that later turn into bigger releases

Some of my projects have gone on to become full releases on other platforms, but itch is where I like to test ideas, take risks, and just make stuff.

Thanks for checking out my games ❤️
If something feels fun, broken, funny, or surprising… that’s probably on purpose.
