Lead Game Designer vacancy at StikiPixels

Games are old. They're older than poetry, they're older than prose, they're older than drama. Bears play games. Games speak to people deep inside their brains, where instincts lie.

Games are new. Those games you play on your phone, your tablet, your PC - you couldn't have played any of them thirty years ago. Technology enables games. Games mediate reality. Games speak to people at the surface of their brains, where thoughts dance.

StikiPixels makes games that leverage fun to create something altogether more profound. Technology, art, psychology, and voodoo are our tools. Games that change the world for the better will be our legacy.

We are StikiPixels, the revolution waits for no-one.
