The Brazil Games coalition came out strong at this year’s Gamescom, stepping up and telling the world about the country’s rapidly expanding indie development scene. Today, we’re taking a deeper dive into three studios leading the charge: Rockhead Studios, Cafundó Creative Studios, and BitCake Studio. These fantastic studios are more critically-acclaimed examples of the great things happening in Brazil’s thriving games industry and prominent members of Brazil Games — an export program created by the Brazilian Game Companies Association, ABRAGAMES, in partnership with Apex-Brasil, the Brazilian Trade, and Investment Promotion Agency.

Of course, what’s a game company without the games? The great thing about the Brazilian game dev scene is the sheer variety of titles across all genres and platforms. Want to relax with some fun but casual multiplayer racing action? Rockhead Studios has you covered with 
Starlit Kart Racing. For players after a more serious, immersive VR experience, BitCake Studio’s DeMagnete is the perfect fit. And if a haunting but challenging and entirely unique puzzle game is more your cup of tea, Tetragon, from Cafundó Creative Studios, is a perspective-shifting tale of a lumberjack trying to save his son that will certainly scratch that itch.

Rockhead Studios is gearing up for a brand new entry in their popular Starlit series, this time around switching up genres with Starlit Kart Racing, a cute and colorful cartoon racer starring all your pals from Starlit Adventures, coming to mobile September 9.

  • Your Favourite Heroes and Villains: All the stars of the Starlit franchise are here for your enjoyment, with wacky custom karts and adorable hats.
  • Varied Terrain and Weather: Get down and dirty in the mud and rain or take a nighttime cruise under the starry sky, different weather conditions keep things spicy on the track.
  • Choose Your Engine: With different categories of race available, players can keep it chill at 150cc or put the pedal to the floor with the intense 600cc tier.
