CoinCraft

A Budgeting RPG Journey

CoinCraft transforms personal finance from a spreadsheet chore into an epic quest. It is the world’s first Financial RPG, where your real-world habits power a digital empire. Instead of staring at a credit score, you protect your EconFlux—a living health bar that reacts to your spending stability. Instead of just saving money, you earn Mana Bricks to upgrade your base from a humble Wanderer’s Tent to a towering Celestial Citadel.

Forget the guilt; chase the glory. In CoinCraft, payday is a glorious Harvest that rains gold, and daily discipline is a battle of wits against the Economancer. Will you wager XP that you can survive the day without spending? Will you equip the Ring of Thrift to boost your stats, or rely on the Potion of Mercy to save your streak? Level up, loot rare artifacts, and turn financial wellness into the most addictive game on your phone.

Strike88

A Rhythm Fighter To Save Your City

Enter the Neon Dojo. Strike88 is a love letter to the late-night arcade era—a visceral rhythm fighter that fuses the crunchy impact of 90s brawlers with the addictive timing of a music game. Set against the backdrop of a glitch-soaked Kurokawa City, you face the Oni 88 gang: a roster of eighty-eight unique demon warriors, each with their own lethal rhythm.

There are no joysticks here. No clumsy virtual pads. Just five neon buttons and your raw reflexes. Master the beat to unleash devastating combos, or miss a step and get crushed. It’s Street Fighter logic played at Guitar Hero speed.

 

Welcome to the fight.

The Pipeline

RuneBreakers.png

RuneBreakers: A Dark Fantasy Puzzle RPG

We are reinventing the casual puzzle genre by injecting it with high-stakes RPG mechanics and gothic lore. Think Candy Crush meets Hades. In RuneBreakers, players don't just clear boards; they infiltrate cursed academies, unlock forbidden spellbooks, and battle ghostly guardians. Every match fuels a spell, and every victory upgrades your rogue crew

of students.

Built on our custom internal WYSIWYG editor, RuneBreakers is a content machine designed for rapid scalability. With a distinct, Tim Burton-inspired visual identity, it is built from day one as an expandable, merch-ready universe.

A Partnership 39 Years In the Making

In the startup world, co-founders usually meet at a hackathon or a coffee shop. Adam Smith and Jordan Kinsey met on the playground before the internet existed.

For nearly four decades, we have been operating as a shared consciousness. We grew up dissecting the mechanics of 8-bit cartridges, trading VHS horror tapes, and obsessing over the intersection of art and technology. That childhood obsession didn't fade; it evolved.

FROM PIXELS TO PROTOCOLS

We spent the first half of our careers mastering the art of visual storytelling—racking up over 50 combined years in high-end media, marketing, and design. But we realized that in the modern era, beautiful design is powerless without the engine to run it.

So we evolved. We didn't just hire developers; we became them.

Dead Shinobi Interactive is the result of that evolution. We are designers who code. We are storytellers who architect systems. Because we have spoken the same creative language for 39 years, we bypass the friction that slows down other studios. There are no translation errors here—just a direct line from concept to execution.

We build the things we wish we had growing up: software that works like magic, and games that feel like memories.
