Independent app studio

Small games. Useful tools.

BasicYard is an independent studio building focused games and practical apps — simple ideas, thoughtfully made.

First release

ONE MORE ORBIT

A fast, one-touch arcade game built around a single decision: keep going, or reverse before it's too late.

iPhoneArcadeComing soon

One tap. One decision.

Orbit the planet, dodge escalating hazards, manage the object chasing you, and push for one more run. Designed for quick sessions, fast retries, and high-score obsession.

How we work

Keep the idea clear.

Simple

Start with a mechanic or tool that can be understood quickly.

Playable

Get it onto real devices early and let actual use drive the next decision.

Polished

Ship the smallest version that feels deliberate, stable, and worth returning to.
