Topeira

Simple apps, made with care

Studio Topeira is a one-person studio. It makes simple apps and games that do one thing well, with no ads and nothing that follows you around.

The first one: a game

Iara: River of Lanterns

Guide a lantern up five real rivers of the Amazon and bring it home to Iara, the keeper of the waters in Brazilian folklore.

One tap pushes the lantern. Frogs, caimans, jaguars and the pink river dolphin are each on the river where they really live, and every river tells you something true about it. In Zen the river is dark, nothing strikes, and your light wakes what lives there.

Topeira

It means "mole" in Portuguese: a small animal that works out of sight and digs patiently. That is roughly how the studio works.

How they are made

Slowly, and checked: every animal, plant and fact in Iara was verified against a source before it went in.

What they never do

No advertising, no tracking, no accounts. Iara 1.0 sends nothing from your phone at all.
