Independent game studio
Archlight Labs creates playful, character-led games built around one strong idea and the little surprises that make you want one more turn.
Welcome to the garden
We are a small studio in Hungary, growing compact games with expressive worlds and systems that are easy to learn but rewarding to understand.
Our first game is Sprout Squad, a portrait-first merge-defense adventure where plant guardians grow together against the creeping Blight.
Every game begins with a simple, legible idea that earns its depth through play.
Characters, sound and motion turn understandable systems into worlds worth caring about.
We leave room for discovery: the satisfying combo, the new friend, the unexpected strategy.
Our flagship world
The Blight is spreading, but this garden has guardians. Recruit an unlikely squad of living plants, discover how their strengths fit together, and help the world bloom again.
In development
A portrait-first strategy game about merging guardians, shaping powerful links and adapting your garden before the next wave arrives.

Beyond the garden
We are also exploring new worlds outside the Sprout Squad universe, including an early farming-game concept. Different genres, same aim: expressive ideas with a playful pulse.
Built independently
Archlight Labs is a small, independent game studio focused on creating memorable games without losing the clarity of what makes them fun.
We prototype quickly, test honestly, and grow the ideas that earn it. That lets each game stay compact enough to finish while remaining distinctive enough to remember.
