About Langman
Langman is an attempt to capture my childhood memories of computing: the warm glow of an Apple II, 8-bit music, and games which explored new kinds of play. On the surface, it’s an experiment that combines platforming with the traditional game of hangman. Deep down it’s also an expression of my fondness for aging and obsolete technology.
Where can I play it?

Praise for Langman
“Langman is a treat for the eyes, ears and the mind.”
- Jay is Games“Langman is free pure fun…I found the experience overall quite enjoyable and played the game several times.”
- DIYGamer“So it’s hangman…But more difficult because it has cleverly designed platformer levels, awesome nostalgia music, and to top it off it has physics? Genius.”
- Kongregate player“Here at GKR we’re always looking for cool literacy games. Cool + literacy? Not the easiest combo. Nevertheless, we’ve found you one.”
- Getting Kids Reading“Langman is really just a conceptually pure thing…Battling against my (perhaps predictable) intrinsic dislike of word-games involving spelling, this managed to charm me”
- Rock, Paper, Shotgun“Awesome…The game feels authentically 80s”

Intergalactic Sheep Pong
Intergalactic Sheep Pong was my first Unity game. It’s actually pretty fun once you figure out what the heck is going on.
