Description

Bitbebop Games is a two-person indie game studio operated by Johan Steen and Phimrost Sitthikun, specializing in unique retro next-gen games with a modern touch inspired by the golden days of gaming. The games are made for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Moving forward, the plan is to expand the reach to more platforms.

History

Johan started coding ASM a long, long time ago when floppies ruled the earth, making demos and dabbling with game projects on the C64 and Amiga computers. That sparked his lifelong love for writing code and creating art.

Since then, he has gone between working as an artist and coding apps for various companies, while the passion for both old and new games has remained.

In 2020, he decided to take the opportunity to come full circle and completely focus on creating games with a love for the late 80s game era. Later in that year, the first game was released, Hypastorm.
