Flightless is an indie games studio based in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.

Founded in 2005 as a digital design company, we have transitioned into full-time games studio developing our own IP.

Our substantial commercial work experience spans multi-award winning projects across museum and visitor experiences, games and moving image, online and the visual arts.

Our approach produces original looking games that have a creative approach, a player centred focus, and often involve environmental themes.
