About this game
Wonderful Handhelds is a game that allows you to collect and play fictional retro LCD games, inspired by classic devices from the 80s and 90s.
Hi! I'm a dad making games under the name of Dad's Indie Studio. I'm also an avid collector of retro devices, especially Game&Watch and Tiger Electronics, along with other lesser-known brands and models.
This game is a way to share my passion for collecting and playing video games in their simplest and purest form.
In this early access release, you'll explore Cursed Castle, the first of three planned handheld games. This game pays homage to classic dungeon adventures with spooky skeletons, locked doors, and hidden keys.
Try the demo where "your friend" lends you the first handheld game, Cursed Castle.
You can play through the entire game and complete it!
Please note that in the full version, you’ll gain access to additional features such as score saving, the game manual, and the box, along with two more games to explore in the future.
Wonderful Handhelds is a truly indie game I’m developing in my spare time.
Your Wishlists and Support during early access will help fund the project and bring Wonderful Handhelds to life. Join the adventure and be part of the game's development journey!
