About

I'm Beatka Wójciak. I design and build everything at Chaos Cookie, a one-person game studio.

Beatka at a wooden desk in a floral shirt, with a laptop, an open notebook and two little potted cacti. — The whole studio: a desk, two cacti, and me.

I spent seven years at Google, where I led a team of six. For a long time I thought you had to choose a path in either art or science; games turned out to be the perfect connection of the two.

Squarelets began as a side project. Then it was a finalist at the Develop:Brighton indie showcase in 2023, and the side project became the whole job: full time, and for a while, a small team. These days it's deliberately just me.

Squarelets was designed to be good for anxious moments, and for players it is. Making it at full speed did rather the opposite for its maker. So this chapter is deliberately slower: I'm rebuilding the game, and myself, to a standard I'm happy to put my name on.

“Endlessly cute”
Apple's editors

In 2024 Apple picked Chaos Cookie as one of its five UK "Ones to Watch", introducing them as "the newest gaming superstars". Squarelets has been Game of the Day on the App Store more than a dozen times, was a finalist at the Pocket Gamer Awards, and made a TIGA award shortlist.
