CadenceCache is an indie casual-game studio. We design from the BPM up — so a run takes 30 seconds, a smile takes one tap, and a month later it's still on your home screen.

01 · About
Cadence is the beat. Cache is what stays. Caching a melody in a player's head takes exactly the right tempo, predictable feedback, and a small surprise worth repeating.
The studio was founded in 2021, after three future co-founders shipped casual games at a big publisher until KPI pipelines squeezed the fun out. They quit on the same Friday and agreed on one rule: one core loop per game, polished until it sings.
So we make fewer games — roughly one a year. Each one is meant to be opened on a commute, in a queue, or right before bed, and to leave a small grin behind.
Every mechanic starts with a BPM. Feedback, animation and SFX all land on the same pulse.
A run lasts 30 seconds to 3 minutes — and the next one is always tempting.
No feature bloat, no predatory monetisation. We let the game be a game.

03 · Process
From a single bar of music to a shipped title, every CadenceCache game goes through the same five-step loop.
Start with a kick, a riff, or a single motion. The rest follows the tempo.
A playable sketch in 48 hours. Velocity beats polish in the early days.
20+ fresh players every week. We watch the smiles, the grimaces, the rage-quits.
SFX, animation, haptics — every frame is timed to the BPM.
Launch isn't the end. New track or new level drops every month.
