Research

Coco Crunchers evolved from a school game concept into a full research platform spanning three years of iteration, playtesting, and data collection. It explores how platformer design, embedded math challenges, and AI assistance can improve learning outcomes without sacrificing fun.

How the studio works

A compact operating model: bigger flagship ambition, faster supporting experiments, and honest iteration in public.

Research Backbone

Shipped research projects still inform how systems are tested, tuned, and explained.

Educational design roots without forcing every game to feel like a lesson.

Playable First

Real feedback matters more than clever pitch decks or design theory in isolation.

The current slate prioritizes what players can actually feel in their hands.

Prototype Fast

Smaller experiments pressure-test mechanics before they earn more production time.

Browser horror, training sims, and combat prototypes feed the larger roadmap.

Build in Public

Devlogs, playable slices, and visible iteration make the studio feel alive instead of archived.

This site tracks direction, not just a list of old projects.

Current Focus

What JugPanda Studios is actively pushing forward right now, shared at a level that shows momentum without exposing too much in-development detail.

Studio Infrastructure

Complete

Portfolio, devlog, and project pages are live with a cleaner studio-facing showcase for active games.
