Skarpa means sharpness. We are an independent studio and publisher in Wisconsin making thoughtful games for your phone, your goals, and your table: To Do Life, Forge Tap, and Feral.
No spam, just milestones, behind-the-scenes updates, and launch news.
All three are in active development. Dive into one, buy a deck, or help fund the ones still on the workbench. Games are where we started, not where we stop.
iOS and Android · In development
Build a pixel hero, pick three attributes, and complete real tasks to level up skills, take down bosses you set yourself, and climb the gem ranks from Stone to a secret band past Diamond.
iOS and Android · In development
A smithing simulator built around one satisfying thing: hitting hot metal at exactly the right moment. Work the bellows, time your strikes, and turn scrap iron into something worth selling.
Card game · On sale now
A game of attention, intention, and interaction, as simple or as chaotic as you make it. Match color, animal, or number, drop a FERAL card, and watch the table lose it.
Every Skarpa release should earn your attention: easy to understand, satisfying to explore, and made with enough care that you want to come back.
Mechanics with a reason to exist, not noise for its own sake.
Ideas become real things you can use, test, share, and enjoy.
Built carefully in Wisconsin, one sharp release at a time.
Every task you finish in real life levels a skill, raises an attribute, and pushes you toward your next gem rank. Name a real milestone as a boss, chip its health down with real work, and actually look forward to your to-do list.
Forge Tap is about the moment the metal is exactly hot enough. Pump the bellows, watch the heat climb, and land your hammer in the narrow window where iron actually moves.
Want a game night where everyone, from the kids to your mother-in-law, ends up rolling on the floor laughing? Feral is a fast, wild card game with rules as simple or as chaotic as you choose.
Skarpa is a tiny independent team in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. There are no investors and no big publisher behind us: every game is funded by the people who play them. Buying a Feral deck is the most direct way to help today, and a Patreon is on the way.
A premium matte deck in an embossed two-deck container, $25 plus flat shipping. Every deck sold funds the next print run and keeps development going on To Do Life and Forge Tap.
Buy a deckA Patreon will fund ongoing development across everything we make. Members get dev logs, art and design notes as they happen, and a say in what we build next.
