Happy Holidays 2025

Take a Break and Enjoy a Wonderful Holiday Season

Because sometimes you just need to. Right? This year has gone by so quickly that we almost forgot to reach out to you again. In these busy times, when we are often overwhelmed by questions due to the many challenges, changes, and upheavals, good, steady news is always welcome. We have been working hard behind the scenes, releasing a few things in quick succession. And if you haven't noticed, now is the perfect time to find out.

Have fun, enjoy the holidays, and all the best for the new year!

Your HandyGames™ Team.


The Steam Winter Sale at the end of the year has become almost a tradition. We're offering huge discounts on many of our games again—you can save up to 90% and stock up without spending too much. The sale runs from December 18th to January 5th, and this year it's even longer than usual. Isn't that great news?

Some highlights include:


Oddsparks is More Complete than Ever!

Many of you are likely familiar with Oddsparks - An Automation Adventure. This charming automation game, with its diverse and creative expansions, has won the hearts of many players and keeps them hooked to their screens. It's impressive to see the wide array of possibilities in the game and, most importantly, what you guys are creating with it! The game is now available in the Ultimate Edition. In addition to the base game, it includes all five DLCs and the Deluxe Upgrade!

When it comes to your Enjoyment, We Take it seriously.

For example, with the 10-in-1 Winter Celebration bundle on Steam during our Winter Sale, grab a whole package of our games at an unbeatable price! Sure, that sounds like an advertising slogan, and it is. But what else can you say? If you're looking for a complete entertainment bundle at a low cost, you'll definitely find it here! In addition to One Hand Clapping and Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, you'll also discover HandyGames classics and genuine indie gems.


Speaking of Bundles... OrangePixel?

The fun of gaming from the 8-bit processor era is more than just hype! 8-bit is almost a philosophy. Many of us were introduced to the world of gaming with the classics from that era, and we associate countless hours, days, weeks, months, and even years of memories with that time. One current developer who has fully embraced this philosophy is OrangePixel. We have the honor of managing OrangePixel's portfolio and celebrating their games! Recently, we have brought five of their classic games to Steam, and you can get them all bundled together for an amazing price during the Steam Winter Sale!


Are you (also) Mobile Gamers? Then check this out!

HandyGames brings popular PC and console titles to mobile gaming. Many of you already know this. We've brought SpongeBob and Wreckfest to mobile phones worldwide, and we love mastering the challenges of bringing high-quality gaming experiences to mobile every time! What’s the newest game you should… no HAVE TO play on your phone?

Way of the Hunter

We have ported the popular simulation game Way of the Hunter to iOS and Android, allowing you to experience ethical hunting in a realistic way. We have preserved as much detail as possible to keep the game enjoyable.

To avoid your phone's storage from being taken up entirely by this game, we had to split it into multiple maps. Way of the Hunter – Wild America is already available to play, and the release of Wild Europe is just around the corner. Pre-order or pre-register now so that you can be the first to experience the breathtaking nature that awaits you in this upcoming release.

Let's switch things up—you play as a vengeful shark with less-than-good intentions for us humans! The story of Maneater is legendary and well-portrayed on PC. Here, we've gone all out to boost your mobile gaming fun. Watch the Release Trailer and bite now!

And what does the New Year have in store?

Next year, we're embarking on a challenging journey. Well, maybe not as ourselves, but as rats. A Rat's Quest is finally coming, and you should add it to your Steam wishlist. We'll keep you posted and let you know when it's time!

And then there's OrangePixel. A new title will continue the amazing Space Grunts series with Space Grunts: Chrono Shard. We'll share the news as soon as we have more details - but you can already play the DEMO on Steam! It's going to be fantastic! If you cannot wait to check this title out, there is already a demo available on Steam, so go check it out and wishlist it as well while you’re at it.
