ABOUT US & HISTORY
Resnijars is a gamedev duo consisting of married queer creators, Resni and j a r s. They have released a handful of games on Steam and itch.io, including a retro metroidvania-platformer entitled Stardust Demon in October of 2024 and an RPG entitled Mythic Mire in May of 2025. They combine different sensibilities and aesthetics - such as furries, retro games, dreamlike and artsy vibes - into unique packages.
Some of their older games include Salad Fields (2020) – a block-pushing puzzle adventure game with a strange narrative, and Sparkles & Gems (2021) – a breakout-type game with a silly visual-novel like story mode, the latter of which was nominated for the Nuovo Award at IGF 2022. They also released a Myst-like point-and-click adventure game called Manglepaw in 2022, which was commissioned for the game bundle-zine “Indiepocalypse”. Resni is also the creator of the surreal platformer, Mibibli’s Quest, released in 2016.
