At HappyHead Games, we believe games don't always have to save the world.
Sometimes they just need to make you laugh until your stomach hurts.
We create ridiculous, light-hearted experiences packed with genuine craftsmanship. The kind of ideas that are just strange enough to make bigger studios nervous, but exactly the sort of games we love bringing to life.
Whether it's co-op chaos or single-player adventures, our goal is simple:
build polished, memorable games that give people a smile.
How It All Started...
Back in 2019, Melbourne entered what felt like an endless cycle of pandemic lockdowns. Fresh out of university there was nowhere that wanted a Junior with a degree in Interactive Media (that would be me, Rory). So doing what any reasonable person would do, I opened Unreal Engine and decided to learn by making the first prototype.
With no grand vision and no master plan, I built a simple little character to experiment with. For reasons that remain scientifically unexplainable, that character happened to have an exceptionally large backside.
This image is genuinely the first online sighting of my creation. Something in me just knew it had the sauce, as I posted "god gave me talent".
That accidental success became the spark that eventually grew into HappyHead Games. Today, the mission hasn't changed much. We still love making absurd ideas that make people smile.
The only difference is we're a little better at making them.
