Dear Larry,

Sometimes our minds come up with brilliant ideas. The life-changing kind. The kind that move and inspire others.

I did not have such an idea. I just like progression. And collecting. And generally silly things. I also happen to be a game developer.

Pocket Larrys

A quirky monster-collecting auto-battler with RPG progression and strategic team-building.

  • Unlock Larrys
  • Fight Boss Larrys
  • Power Up & Evolve Larrys
  • Build teams of Larrys
  • Take part in The Larry League
  • Collect them all

Why Larry?!

That uhm. Kind of evolved on its own. My real name isn't even Larry fyi.

The first game I created is called Larry's Defense. It's a mobile tower defense game where - instead of towers - there's just you: Larry. You get to improve him by levelling him up, choosing skills, attributes and equipping/upgrading gear.

I leaned hard into the whole Larry theme and even gathered a small community of people playing the game whom all called each other Larry.

Quite frankly, it was as hilarious as it was unexpected.

So whilst developing Pocket Larrys, I had a choice to make. Either abandon the theme, giving more freedom of creativity, or double-down on Larry.

In the end it was an easy choice =)
