Hoard Awakened
Something stirs
beneath the gold.
Torchlit stone. A sleeping hoard. A world of pixel art with a little darkness in every corner. Meet the first release from Broke By Design.

✳ Independent game studio
Original worlds.
A little unexpected.
We’re Broke By Design. We make slots with
a world of their own, from the first symbol to the final detail.
Our games
Every title starts with its own character.
Here’s what we’ve been building.
Hoard Awakened
Torchlit stone. A sleeping hoard. A world of pixel art with a little darkness in every corner. Meet the first release from Broke By Design.
MYCELIA
Step into a luminous mushroom cave where clusters tumble and the board grows with every win. Our next world is built and awaiting approval.
The studio
We believe a game should have a personality you can recognise in a single frame.
Broke By Design is an independent slot studio. We bring game design, mathematics, art direction and development together to build worlds that feel like our own.
From the pixel-lit depths of Hoard Awakened to the luminous world of MYCELIA, the details are different. The care behind them is the same.
A distinct setting, memorable symbols and a visual language that belongs to the game.
Mechanics, mathematics, animation and sound developed as parts of one experience.
Thoughtful interfaces, clear rules and the same attention on a phone as on a desktop.
For operators, platforms & collaborators
Partnerships, distribution or a good conversation.
We’d like to hear from you.
