Who is behind Iris Edge Studios?
It is a small independent studio based in Portugal. Small enough that the person who designs a system is the person who builds it, ships it, and answers the support email about it months later.
What games have you released?
Two. Cowardly Heroes (2020), a 16-bit pixel-art arcade runner, and Pinteza (2026), a daily word game where the word changes length day to day.
Is Pinteza free?
Yes, free to download, on iOS and Android, and it needs no account. Practice, Sprint and Chaos work offline; the daily word and Duo need a connection.
Why is Cowardly Heroes not on Google Play?
It is currently delisted while we focus on Pinteza. The complete game is still free on itch.io and it is expected back on the stores.
Do you take on work for other people?
Yes, a small number of projects a year, either as paid work or as a partnership with the risk and the upside shared. How that works.
What do you build with?
Unity 6 with URP for the games, on iOS and Android. Cloudflare Workers for the web and for the small server that hands out each day's word.
Can I use your logo or screenshots in an article?
Yes. Journalists, reviewers and creators may reproduce our logos and game art when covering the studio or its games, unmodified and with attribution. Everything is on the press page.
Does this website track me?
No. There are no cookies, no advertising and no cross-site tracking. Page views are counted with a cookieless tool that cannot identify you, and the trailer loads nothing from YouTube until you press play. Details in the privacy policy.
