Pantoy Games

Pantoy Games is the independent game-development name of a solo creator based in Butuan City, Philippines.

I design and develop original games independently, handling the creative and technical work myself—from game concepts, programming, systems, and user interfaces to visual direction, testing, and production. My goal is to create colorful, approachable games with their own identity and memorable gameplay experiences.

My current projects include Helm Hopper and Couch Lycan.

Helm Hopper is a colorful voxel arena game set in a maze-like world filled with coins, traps, hazards, special helms, and expressive characters. Players explore the arena, collect coins, use different abilities, avoid dangers, and compete for the highest score before time runs out. Each helm offers a different style of play, including close-range attacks, bombs, projectiles, and movement advantages.

Couch Lycan is a werewolf-themed social deduction party game focused on secret roles, investigation, suspicion, discussion, and deception. Players must determine who they can trust, examine the actions of others, share theories, and uncover the hidden Lycans before it is too late.

Both games are being developed independently with limited resources. As a solo developer, I am responsible for many areas of production, which makes development rewarding but also challenging. The biggest limitation is not a lack of ideas—it is the time and financial resources needed to turn those ideas into polished, complete games.

I am seeking financial support from sponsors and individuals who believe in independent game development and would like to help me continue this work. Sponsorship would directly support development time, hardware, software, art, audio, testing, hosting, marketing, and future updates.

Financial support would help me:

• Spend more time actively developing the games
• Improve graphics, animation, sound, and user interface quality
• Add more content, environments, abilities, and gameplay features
• Test the games on more devices and browsers
• Fix issues and improve stability
• Create promotional materials
• Prepare the projects for wider release
• Continue developing future original games

Supporting Pantoy Games means directly supporting one solo Filipino developer working from Butuan City. Your sponsorship can help me continue building games instead of having to divide as much time between development and other work.

I am sharing these projects on itch.io because it is a place where independent creators can present their work directly to players. If you enjoy my games, follow the development, or believe in the ideas behind them, financial support would make a real difference. Every contribution can help provide more development time and bring these projects closer to completion.

Sponsors may also receive development updates, access to playable builds, behind-the-scenes information, recognition in promotional materials, or other forms of support acknowledgement depending on the partnership.

Pantoy Games is small because it is currently just me, but I am committed to continuing the work. My aim is to build original games with personality, improve with every project, and create a sustainable future as an independent developer.
