Lykke Studios: In pursuit of puffy perfection

Lykke Studios, the team behind Apple Design Award winners stitch. and tint., shares the development story behind puffies. — a puzzle game built around virtual puffy stickers available on Apple Arcade. The 8-person team spent months perfecting physics interactions, haptic feedback, snap distances, and accessibility features. Every one of the game's 4,000 stickers is a 3D-modeled object governed by a physics engine, and the team scrapped entire codebases to get interactions feeling right. The studio's philosophy centers on craft over speed, with no automated level design and a strong focus on inclusivity features.
