Coco Crunchers begins
An educational platformer starts as a classroom idea and becomes a three-year research project.
About the studio
One person. Several worlds.
JugPanda Studios is a solo indie studio making original games across multiplayer horror, stylized action, education, satire, and simulation. The common thread is simple: build a playable idea, test it honestly, and let the strongest work grow.
The story so far
Research was the starting point—not the boundary.
JugPanda Studios began with a question: can a game teach something measurable without becoming dry or manipulative? That work became Coco Crunchers, a multi-year educational platformer and released research project.
The studio has since expanded into original entertainment and focused prototypes. WHISPER explores multiplayer fear and microphone-driven pressure. VEILBREAK pushes toward a larger co-op action identity. Smaller games test mechanics, formats, and audiences quickly.
The studio remains intentionally small. That keeps the feedback loop direct: concept, playable build, test, revise, and decide whether the idea deserves more room.
2025

How the studio works
01
Playable before precious
Ideas earn scope through real builds, testing, and player response—not pitch language alone.
02
Each game owns its world
Horror, action, satire, and serious games should not look or feel like one interchangeable template.
03
Small experiments matter
Focused prototypes answer specific design questions and feed stronger systems into larger projects.
