• RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT - 30 May 2026

  G'day! Rita finally has a release date! 🎉It's hard to believe this moment has arrived, but it's also hard to believe it's been two and a half years since this project started. I couldn't be more excited to bring my cozy puzzle adventure to the world. The heart of this game really is a tribute to my grandmother. We did puzzles and played many word games together, I'm excited that players can experience some of the joy I experienced by doing these things with her. The puzzles are not just vanilla word puzzles though, I'm equally as excited for players to experience the variety of puzzles and the many "a ha" moments that come from them. I believe this game hits the studio's mark of "Games To Get You Thinking", you know, just the right amount of "puzzle".📅 Mark your calendars🐣 Rita is hatching 30 July 2026🧩 Solve all her puzzles📖 Learn her entire storySporkTank is a small studio.
