About the Developers

Who we are, how we started, and what we care about.

Our story

Indie Fire Texas started the way a lot of indie studios do: one person, one laptop, and a game idea that wouldn't go away. That idea turned into Virus Capsules, a puzzler built around the simple joy of lining up colors and watching a whole board clear.

We named the studio for the spark that gets a project going and the Texas grit it takes to finish one. Every game we make is designed, programmed, tested and shipped in-house, so the person who answers your support email is usually the same person who wrote the code.

We stay small on purpose. It keeps us close to players, lets us move fast, and means every detail gets a second look before it ships.

What we believe

Respect the player

No ads, no loot boxes, no pay-to-win. You buy the game, you own the game.

Polish over size

A small game that feels great beats a big one that feels unfinished.

Listen and fix

Bug reports and feedback go straight to the developer and shape every update.
