A crew of well experienced guys, coming up with some fresh ideas
Story
Balzo is a creative team based in Florence, focused on the development of videogames and gamification consulting.
From the very indie beginning of the project, in Peppe’s garage till the 2013 joining with Nanabianca, the italian start up accelerator for innovative companies, Balzo has been developing a distinctive approach to videogaming in order to shape meaningful tiny games.
Balzo has already released 8 featured games for ios, android and windowsphones. The last three projects gained a good public and critical reception: the two mind challenging puzzle platformer, Alien Garden and Color Parking, and FableScapes2, storytelling tools to feed kids creativity.
Balzo is now working on its new epic videogame: a mid-core game inspired by the satyr Pan mythological adventure on the Olympus. A project that will confirm Balzo as one of the most original protagonist of the indie scene.
Vision
Keeping an indie approach means to us working on new ideas with passion and great attention to quality.
2D handcrafted animations, open source developing platforms and live recorded soundtracks are the main ingredients of Balzo secret receipt to let the theme interact tunefully with the game mechanics.
Mission
We want our games to be something more than just a game: a meaningful tiny game. That’s why we care so much about quality and game experience.

Balzo is the next relevant player in the indie game and serious game circuit, in national and international environment.
