We make bright games out of folded paper.
Paperlight Games is a 29-person studio building games that feel like a craft table: cut-paper skies, soft edges, and rules you can learn in a minute. We shipped a cosy kite game, then a 60-player battle royale that kept the same colours — and we have stayed small on purpose.
What we make
Bright competitive play
Battle royale without the grime. Readable silhouettes, no gore, and a colour palette you would happily print on a lunchbox.
Movement you can feel
Gliders, updrafts and kites. Traversal is the toy — most of our design time goes into how it feels to catch the wind.
Games that stay finished
Two titles, both still playable and patched. We would rather keep a small catalogue in good shape than start something new every year.

Skybreak Royale
Sixty players, one paper island, and a glider that never leaves your back. Skybreak Royale is a seasonal battle royale built in Unity, running in three regions and now in its sixth season. It is loud, quick and stubbornly cheerful.
