Zeppelin Empire
Anno 1938, the twilight of the great airship age. Grow a single hydrogen liner into a globe-spanning fleet: chart routes, race the trade winds, and fill your gondolas with tourists, businessmen and champagne.
Independent game studio
Small games, made with care.
Word puzzles, arcade landers, an airship empire, a 1937 record car, a daily trench battle and a living art museum, for Android and the web.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
… and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!”Lewis Carroll, Jabberwocky (1871)
Our games
Doublets
Lewis Carroll's 1879 word ladder: turn one word into another, changing a single letter at a time, and every step must be a real word. A new Word of the Day for everyone, hundreds of levels, and a result to share with friends.
Mecenas
It is 1930 and you hold the keys to a single gallery. Bid at auction for great masterpieces, patronise living painters, design rooms and welcome visitors, then open your museum to other players.
Will & Wire
One trench, one morning, one chance. Every day the same First World War battlefield for everyone: place your men, machine guns, wire and a tank on the general's table, dig in, then hold the line as the attack comes over the top. A bigger push each day of the week, a score out of 1000 and a replay to share.
Rekordwagen 1937
October 1937: take a streamlined silver record car past 430 km/h on an ordinary concrete autobahn, crosswind waiting in every clearing. Then race a 1938 season that never was, on a banked marble oval against eleven rivals.
Best played on a PC with a keyboard. Phones and tablets work too, with touch controls.
Crash Lander: Deep Space
Cut the thrust. Hold your nerve. Set her down. A glowing amber-on-black vector lander with real momentum and per-world gravity, from the forgiving Moon to the solar system's harshest worlds.
About the studio
Bandersnatch Games is an independent studio with a soft spot for history, wordplay and the golden ages of flight and art. The name comes from Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky; Carroll also invented Doublets, our word ladder.
