We have taken the Japanese word for Play, Asobi, and an English word for a type of Science, Tech. Bringing them together, to give us Asobi.tech – the Science of Play. The year of 2020 brought many challenges to us all, but gave Asobi.tech a chance to refocus.

Going back to our roots we completed and self published Super JetPak DX, a physical Nintendo GameBoy game.
