Heartbeetle

Heartbeetle is an indie game studio with a distinctive atmosphere. We built their full web presence - a site that feels like an extension of their games rather than a corporate page. Dark, animated, and deliberately mysterious, it gives players and press a first impression that sticks.

The Challenge

Indie studios live and die by atmosphere. Heartbeetle's games have a specific visual language - dark, particle-heavy, with a sense of organic movement. The site needed to carry that same feeling without being a technical burden. We also had to handle per-game pages, trailer embeds, and a team section that felt personal rather than generic.

Our Solution

Dark-themed site with a carefully tuned particle system
Custom animated background matching the studio's game aesthetic
Per-game subpages with trailer embed and full project description
Scrolling team section with individual bios
Mobile-first layout with touch-friendly navigation
Optimised asset loading to keep particle effects smooth on lower-end devices
