Double Dash Studios

Double Dash Studios is an independent Brazilian game development studio founded in 2017 and based in Rio de Janeiro. Its work combines original intellectual property with co-production, work-for-hire development and adaptations of established entertainment franchises. The studio develops for PC, mobile and consoles, with projects spanning arcade action, narrative adventures and multiplayer role-playing games.

The company’s beginnings trace to the 2015 Indie Vs Gamers game jam, where its founders created RacketBoy over 72 hours. That prototype developed into Sky Racket, an arcade game combining shoot ’em up action with brick-breaking mechanics. Described as a “shmup breaker,” the game reflects the studio’s interest in bringing familiar mechanics together in new combinations. It reached PC and Nintendo Switch audiences and appeared in Nintendo’s Indie World showcase in 2020.

Original games and collaborative production

Double Dash co-produced Irmão do Jorel e o Jogo mais Importante da Galáxia, known in English as Jorel’s Brother and The Most Important Game of the Galaxy, with animation producer Copa Studio and Cartoon Network. The episodic comedy adventure adapts the animated series into a point-and-click game, extending the studio’s work into licensed storytelling and cross-media collaboration.

Its original development also includes Shadows of Chroma Tower, a fantasy dungeon crawler built around asynchronous multiplayer and action RPG design. Mobile projects include the cooperative action-adventure RPG Echoes of Mist / Survivor Heroes and the endless arcade runner Eat Dino Eat!.

Alongside its own releases, Double Dash provides full-cycle development, game design, prototyping, porting and multi-platform production. Its contract portfolio includes games involving Cartoon Network’s Tom & Jerry and Ben 10, Mauricio de Sousa Produções’ Turma da Mônica, and projects for Brazilian commercial partners. This combination of original releases and commissioned production is central to the studio’s operating model.
