HOW TO PLAY
YOU ARE THE BALL. EACH ROW HIDES THE NEXT DIGIT OF PI. LAND ON IT, DROP TO THE NEXT ROW, AND KEEP GOING BEFORE THE PYTHON CATCHES YOU.
PI FACTS
PI IS THE DISTANCE AROUND ANY CIRCLE DIVIDED BY THE DISTANCE ACROSS IT. THE SAME NUMBER FOR EVERY CIRCLE, AND ITS DIGITS GO ON FOREVER WITHOUT REPEATING.

ABOUT US
WE MAKE COHERENT, WELL THOUGHT-OUT GAMES. EVERY RULE, EVERY LEVEL AND EVERY PIXEL IS THERE FOR A REASON.
PI-THON IS OUR FIRST GAME. IT STARTED WITH A SIMPLE IDEA: A BALL DIVING DOWN THE DIGITS OF PI, A NUMBER THAT NEVER ENDS, WITH A PYTHON ON ITS TAIL.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
PI-THON IS JUST THE BEGINNING. WE HAVE MANY MORE GAME IDEAS, AND WITH ENOUGH SUPPORT WE CAN GROW INTO A FULL STUDIO THAT MAKES THEM THE SAME WAY: HONEST, COMPLETE, AND BUILT WITH CARE.
SINCE OUR GAMES HAVE NO ADS OR MICROTRANSACTIONS, YOUR DONATIONS GO DIRECTLY INTO MAKING THE NEXT ONE.
