Oh no, some of RPS’s secret favourite game developers have teamed up to form a videogame collective. Their power to make delightful, colourful, physics-animated games, toys and joys will be too great for any of us to handle.

They’re called Sokpop and they consist of Aran Koning, Tijmen Tio, Tom van den Boogaart and rubna. They’ve made a trailer of their work, which you can watch below, if you have space for so much levity inside of you.

I have no idea what being in a collective together actually means. They all make games which seem to share a similar philosophy, but they’re also all working on their own projects. Perhaps they will make a game together one day, but for now their Twitter account is a one-stop shop for feeling good about your day.
