About Jellyworld
Jellyworld is an independent game development studio founded in 2016 by Gisela Vaquero. Based in Catalonia, Spain, it creates entertainment games, educational titles and serious games, alongside custom interactive projects for companies, institutions and organizations. Its work spans mobile devices, PC, Mac, web browsers and consoles.
Gender diversity, the visibility of women and learning through play are recurring themes in the studio’s games. Trainpunk Run, released in 2018, is an action runner that highlights historic female aviators, including Amelia Earhart. Women's Quiz explores the lives and achievements of hundreds of notable women through educational trivia. The studio’s later work includes 3 Chicas in Tech, an engineering puzzle Metroidvania, and My Daily Pets, which combines alien pet care with investigation.
Its broader catalogue includes narrative, mystery, simulation and seasonal games, such as Catch My Heart, Channel 51, Bake & Cake and Cozy Christmas. Jellyworld distributes its work through digital platforms including Steam and itch.io, with itch.io serving as its current portfolio and storefront.
Alongside its own releases, the studio offers custom game development, interactive narrative and experience design, prototyping, gamification and white-label development. These activities connect its entertainment work with educational, cultural, nonprofit and social impact projects.
The business began while Vaquero was living in Northern Ireland and subsequently moved its operations to Spain. Its former UK corporate entity was dissolved in 2018; the studio continued operating in Spain under Vaquero’s sole proprietorship.
