About Us

We catapult ideas at the wall and see what sticks

Petrobolos Games is an independent games studio based in the UK. We take fun and innovative ideas and shape them into fun video game experiences for a wide range of audiences.

Our History

Founded in early 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic by Oliver Earl and Shane Fenton, Petrobolos (literally ancient Greek for stone thrower) began as a passion project to make the most of long periods of downtime and isolation that characterised the start of the decade.

Today, Petrobolos is building exciting new experiences targeting home computers, video game consoles, and mobile platforms, as well as the technology to empower other game developers all over the world.
