About Us
We are Bad Dream Games, the LA-based studio behind One Hand Clapping, a 2D platformer where you sing into your microphone to solve musical puzzles and change the world. It’s a game about confidence, curiosity, compassion, and cacophony. Our short demo made a big impact, receiving numerous nominations and awards, a high number of downloads, popularity among influencers, and recognition in indie game journals.

As we prepare to develop our debut title, we are looking to create a long-lasting, supportive, and collaborative family. We need a talented team that will stick together through thick and thin, that will fearlessly cast their virtuosity into the boiling cauldron of game development and drink of the elixir which is success, creative fulfillment, and an all-round fun time.

If you’d like to join us on this journey to make unique experimental games, take a gander at these job descriptions, and send an email with your resume/portfolio to admin@baddreamgames.com.
