Signals of Trust & Quality
Transparent benchmarks and real-world examples from our engagement history.
"Cuddeat took our vague design doc and built a slice in 6 weeks. The combat loop felt so good we pivoted the entire game around it. Saved us 6 months of trial and error."
"Their Kickstarter demo got us fully funded in 48 hours. The vertical slice was indistinguishable from a finished product. Worth every cent."
