Games by Niels

Small mobile games inspired by Rio de Janeiro.
Fun to pick up, fair to play, and private.

From Films to Games

Rio, Made Playable

Besides the travel films, I've started making games. They're inspired by Rio de Janeiro: the mosaic boardwalks, the beach sports, the tiled steps, the rooftops and the motorbike couriers weaving through traffic. I'm learning game development as I go, one game at a time.

The rules are simple: no ads, no accounts, and the games play offline. Play statistics are optional, and you choose: see what Rally Carioca collects and why. Just something fun to play on the bus, on the beach, or against a friend on the same phone.

Coming Soon to Google Play

Rally Carioca

Rally Carioca: a frescobol paddle and a glowing ball over the Copacabana boardwalk at sunset

Paddle battles across Rio: the Copacabana mosaic, Ipanema at sunset, the tiled Selarón Steps and a favela rooftop at night. Climb past 21 opponents and 4 bosses, or take on a friend on the same phone.

In Development

Motoboy

Next up: hop on a delivery motorbike and race through the streets of Copacabana, built from the real street map. Grab the order, weave through traffic and beat the clock before the açaí melts.

Coming after Rally Carioca.
