“Funimal” is IXILL's first original game, which created from planning to publishing.

“Playable regardless of gaming experience or age”

“I'd love for my own parents to play it too”

“Something enjoyable for both puzzle novices and experts”

We've developed puzzles based on these three core concepts since day one.

IXILL is a tiny, boutique studio where everyone knows everyone.

Even so, we were able to develop step by step and finally release our first self-developed game.

Everything after the release decision was done by trial and error.

There were times we didn't know if our efforts would pay off and we were at a loss.

Still, we somehow pushed forward and made it this far.

To everyone who has followed us on this journey, to those who just found out about us, and to everyone who came after seeing our media report—thank you so much!!

Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts.🙇🙇🙇

For more details on this matter, Morita from IXILL has shared his thoughts on Note.
