Hey, I'm Alperen aka Chisenoa

I design puzzles and build the games around them.

I make minimalist puzzle games at Mindlabor, my one-person studio, and I've worked with eight other studios along the way.

A little more about me

Puzzle design is my true passion. I put my heart into every rule and every level until it feels just right.

I've worn a lot of hats in games, and every one made me a better designer.

Off the clock: Pokémon cards, movies and loud metal.
