We are Girthy Garden Games
Building a game is a lot like tending a garden. It begins with a seed of an idea; full of boundless potential. With the right tools, a gentle touch, and plenty of patience, that seed can grow into a game for everyone to enjoy.
​
We’re a small, passionate team of developers and gardeners, nurturing games we’re genuinely excited to play. We hope others enjoy watching them bloom alongside us.
Girthy Garden Games was formed in 2025 by Jack Kirk and Dave Woodhouse, who first met while working together. They shared a passion for gaming and a desire to create. Dreams quickly grew into a partnership; Dave providing backend development, Jack bringing frontend and design.​
​
They both understood that even the best ideas need great art to reach their full potential. Jack recruited his wife Gemma, completing the dream team. The goal to build amazing experiences is realised by the team's first game, Dorsal Shores, which is launching soon on Android and iOS.
How We Work
Our primary goal is to grow the best games we can. To do that, our garden has three rules:
All-natural
Everything we grow here at Girthy Garden Games is 100% organic and crafted with passion. Absolutely no generative AI is used in anything we build, and it'll stay that way.
Well-watered
We give each of our games the time they need to fully grow. It lets us be certain that all of our players will love everything we do, and allows us to be truly proud of our work.
Nutrient-rich
Our games are crammed full of goodness, and you get all of it in one purchase. None of our products offer subscriptions, in-app purchases, or hidden costs.
