That was the sentiment of Tan Kang Soon, Co-founder of Joysteak Studios, on the entire experience of developing a game as his company wraps up development on their first and upcoming rhythm platformer, Songbird Symphony. Though, calling it a company might give a different impression on how big the team is. Along with Producer/Artist Kang Soon, the studio is only comprised of two other members; Lead Programmer Chue Sai Hou and Writer/Sound Engineer Muhammad Hanif.

“The Cat Lady” is Not That Crazy of a Game
Point and Click games have been a part of gaming since the introduction of the point-and-click interface and are pretty good ways to get people into video gaming.

Fort Meow Purrs Into Your Game Library
Welcome to the Gaming Vertical where I have no absolute clue what I’m doing here… No, seriously, last thing I remembered before I became a Gaming writer was getting a drink from the bar.
