In development
Fast, friendly arcade hockey for 2 to 4 players on the couch. Pick a squad of animal skaters, win the face-off, and dangle, deke and slap-shot your way past the goalie.
Big saves, one-timers, sudden-death overtime and instant replays, all with the same toy-box charm as everything else coming out of the studio.
In development. Platforms to be announced.
About the studio
Stone Labs Studios is an independent game studio in Allentown, Pennsylvania, founded by Matt Johnston.
The aim is simple: games that feel like toys. The kind you pick up just to see what they do, then keep playing because of who you meet along the way. Every game is built in Unreal Engine 5 with a small studio's heart and modern tools, and tested by the toughest focus group around: the founder's kids.
Big hearts and characters worth coming home to.
Real personality, and at least one pair of talking shoes.
Every jump, slide and slap shot should feel good in your hands.
Worlds built around a reason to keep playing.

Founder and developer
Matt runs Stone Labs Studios and leads design, development and production on every game. His kids are the first playtesters, and nothing ships until they keep asking for one more go.
Press, platform, publishing and business inquiries go straight to the founder.
