His first game, Tough Love Arena, was a sideproject gone viral– played by over 173K people, featured in Vice, and banned in schools for being too popular. This success was beyond shocking, especially with zero ad spend – but the game was so fun, it spread naturally through word of mouth in local fighting game communities.Since his first published side project, Paul has learned a lot. That's why he left his job two years ago and built a small, trusted team for his next game.Scramble Heart City is an an approachable and beginner-friendly fighting game, playable in the browser with a focused, tight-knit roster of hand drawn characters.
