- PINEAPPLE: A Bittersweet Revenge is now available on Nintendo Switch. - 18 July 2025
Today, we’re launching our very first console game. A simple sentence — but for us, it’s anything but simple.It all started with a ridiculous story we found in a forgotten corner of the internet: a student getting back at the school bully… with pineapples. Literal pineapples.It felt absurd, honest, and strangely perfect. So we turned it into a video game. Short, funny, and with something to say.Today, that game is real. And you can now play it in Spanish, English, French, German, and Catalan.We’re not sure if this is an achievement, a miracle, or just a well-orchestrated coincidence. But here it is. And it makes us very, very happy.Nintendo Switch page: http://bit.ly/3ICnzxK

- From Bold Inspirations to Happy Accidents - 10 September 2024
Of all the moments in the process of creating a video game, there’s one we absolutely love: choosing the visual style. It’s difficult to articulate how we make that choice because it’s shaped by personal taste, references we’ve seen, certain affinities… and, of course, the clear objective of what we want the art to achieve. For PINEAPPLE, we set out to create a visually unique style—something distinctive, something that truly stands out, with our signature touch. Our vision was to draw inspiration from the world of comics and cartoons—vibrant and colorful—but with one crucial detail: it had to look intentionally imperfect. We wanted the illustrations to appear as if they were sketched by someone who isn’t a professional artist, like a 15-year-old kid doodling in their diary or notebook. Initially, we had two key references: two of our favorite comic artists, Mauro Entrialgo and Juanjo S…
- A Quirky Soundtrack for a Quirky Game - 10 September 2024
Music and sound design have always been key to our projects, but this time, they were more crucial than ever. The soundtrack needed to be accessible, fun, and a bit rebellious—without sounding childish. Collaborating with Xavier Paradis, our go-to sound designer and composer, we drew inspiration from an eclectic mix: the Jackass intro, "Corona" by The Minutemen, the SpongeBob SquarePants theme, Jonathan Richman’s laid-back vibe, and the wild energy of the Toy Dolls. It was no easy task, but Xavi worked his magic again, pulling off what seemed impossible. Xavi also crafted all the game’s sound effects, with a special focus on enhancing the cinematic scenes. Without them, those moments would have lost their comedic edge. One of the standout elements of the sound design is the use of an invented language for the characters' voices. We opted for this approach to sidestep recording in multip…
- A Bittersweet Revenge (INTERVIEW) - 2 September 2024
How did the original idea for PINEAPPLE come about? The original idea stemmed from a Reddit post over 10 years ago. An anonymous user shared a revenge story about a new kid at school who gets harassed by a bully for months. One day, he decides to put a stop to it by buying a pineapple. He then starts secretly placing pineapples in the bully's personal spaces, driving the bully insane. This story resonated with us because of our own experiences with bullying and the way it used humor to address a serious issue. It also presented a moral dilemma: seeking revenge risks turning you into a bully yourself. A year ago, we revisited this idea and thought it would be compelling to use the narrative power of video games to tell this story. What are the strengths of this project (art, narrative, mechanics...)? PIÑA's main strength is its freshness and novel format. It defies conventional genres, o…
- The Team Behind - 2 September 2024
To make Pineapple happen, we've teamed up with the best crew out there. As always. Indie studios like ours might not have a lot of luxuries, but one thing we love is picking our team. From the get-go, we knew we wanted to work with our pals at Devilish Games. They don't just make cool, original games—they're also some of the best people around. Seriously, they know their stuff and are super pro. And to this awesome crew, we got to bring in the skills of David Octane (Art), Xavi Paradis (Music), and Rocío (Marketing). Anaïs Anaïs Salla, who holds a degree in game production and design, has quickly made her mark in the industry. Despite her relatively short tenure, she has contributed to numerous indie, educational, serious, and advertising games. Currently, she is developing her own indie game, Nom Nom: Cozy Forest Café. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check it out. Anaïs has assi…
- Uncovering the Fun Facts - 22 August 2024
Although we’ve only published two games, fans of UNMEMORY and DELETE AFTER READING already know that fun facts are a staple of our studio. We love to include nods to pieces of popular culture that have inspired us or been part of our lives. Sharing these fun facts is a way to connect with anyone who might have enjoyed these cultural gems as well. If you haven't, there's still time! Wooly Bully - Sam The Sham & The PharaohsThis famous, catchy, and rambunctious song inspired the final song in Pineapple. The idea of having a song at the end of each level to summarize the moral of the joke came from the Farrelly brothers' film Something About Mary. The song by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs appeared serendipitously, and since understanding non-native English can sometimes lead to unique interpretations, Pineapple tells a story about a bully, which led us to the song more for its phonetic appea…
- Laugh First, Think Later - 21 August 2024
From the moment we read the viral Reddit post, we were captivated by the idea of using humor to discuss serious topics. Its concise writing perfectly conveyed a raw story of bullying and revenge humorously. The humor disarmed us, allowing the serious message to sink in naturally. We loved that. At first, we laughed when we read the post, but after a few seconds, we realized the gravity of the situation. It was a story of bullying that highlighted how easily one can shift from victim to aggressor. Our research revealed numerous studies showing that everyone has experienced being bullied or bullied at some point. Thus empathy is key to overcoming bullying—putting oneself in another's shoes. Bullying is often addressed with a paternalistic tone, which young people, especially teenagers, tend to reject. Perhaps this is why the Reddit post went viral. We saw it as an opportunity to convey an…
- Meet The Witch - 21 August 2024
In the original Reddit post, the bully was depicted as a boy (Shitgut), but we always envisioned the villain as a girl. Perhaps this is due to personal experiences we won't detail here, or maybe because female villains are our weakness (Bea’s nickname is “Villano,” which means villain in Spanish). The Witch Thus, The Witch was born—the class bully and tormentor. She is a ruthless and cruel girl who enjoys preying on the weaker ones, reveling in the fear and respect she commands—a true toxic leader. It’s easy to think of someone who fits this profile. The Witch appears strong and invulnerable but hides a dark backstory of a broken family, revealed through her notebook. Monobrow and Bleach Blonde Next, we have the henchmen: Monobrow and Bleach Blonde. Every self-respecting villain needs intellectually inferior but loyal henchmen, ready to obey their boss's every command. They were perfect…

- An Unforgettable Day at the Amusement Park 😈 - 8 June 2024
Hey, guys! Get ready for an awesome story. Someone got a taste of their own medicine, and the story is REALLY epic. The school bully finally got what she deserved, and I was the genius behind her downfall. It all happened at the amusement park and yep, a pineapple was the star of this sweet revenge 🍍 I knew my plan had to be perfect this time. The witch needed a lesson she’d never forget. For weeks, I’d been spying on her movements, her friends (confirmed: what a pair of idiots), and eavesdropping on every conversation. One day, I heard the key piece of info: the witch was planning to go to the the amusement park with her friends on Saturday afternoon, and they’d head straight to the ball toss booth, her favorite. That was the perfect moment for my next move. With the info in hand, my next step was to find a way to get into the fair for free and carry out my revenge. I knew I needed a…
