Hi, I'm Jakob and I have the seemingly uncorrectable habit of making games. Superattack is my spare time game development studio. The studio's main focus is on narrative experiments and other generally somewhat odd stuff.

I've recently left the Sisyphus hill that is web development to pursue a full time career in game creation. As a student at The Game Assembly I've partaken in several (less niche) game projects.

Below is an incomplete list of my creations thus far, both from school and spare time.

School projects (The Game Assembly)

Sky traveller
