GAMES

Our babies

PROJECT: FISH 2023 - WIP!

Project: Fish is like if Goat Simulator and Grand Theft Auto had an aquatic
child.
Terrorize humanity, undergo eldritch mutations, and take the fate of the world
into your fins in this slapstick action sandbox.

AQUARIAL

2021 – Jam + Prototype

Embark on a classic hero's journey, recover the golden pearl, and save the day!
Aquarial is a jam game that went on to become the foundation for Project: Fish!

UNLUCK QUEST

2017 – Jam + Prototype

Join Dollop, an accidental hero who just wants to get where he's going, as he
solves the problems of some unlucky objects and ultimately faces the horrible
unluck goblin. Unluck Quest started as a jam game, and is now also a prototype
for a larger world of radical consciousness anarchy where we want to explore
identity and consciousness through a queer lens with quirky gameplay at its
core.

UDDER

2019

Sometimes all it takes is an image. When Aidan came across an unsettling gif of
a cow walking on its udder, he thought "I want a game of this." The result: an
udderly ridiculous runner. Balance yourself as you gain speed and try not to hit
your head!

CRAZY PLATEZ

2018

Your responsibility as a Crazy Platez delivery driver is to keep the people of
Rochester, NY satisfied and full! Race against the clock to deliver plates and
refill your tank before you run out of gas.

AWARDS

 * NYS Game Dev Challenge
 * Featured in The Strong National Museum of Play

Client Projects

MONSTER LOVES YOU TOO!

2022-23

Monster Loves You Too! is a graphic novel adventure from Dejobaan Games and
Radial Games. We worked with Dejobaan and Radial to port and optimize the game
for Nintendo Switch and iOS, as well as provide general development support.



MINI METRO

2022-23

Mini Metro is a strategy simulation game about designing a subway map for a
growing city. Draw lines between stations and start your trains running. As new
stations open, redraw your lines to keep them efficient. Decide where to use
your limited resources. How long can you keep the city moving?

We're working with Dino Polo Club and Radial Games to bring the global and China
Switch releases up to date and fix bugs along the way!



THE VOTE NEEDS U

2020

Voting accessibility was a major issue on the ballot in the 2020 US General
Election and media agency Partners + Napier was looking for an engaging way to
represent that for their voter engagement campaign, The Vote Needs U.

We worked with P+N to build an award winning game within a tight (and
understandably immutable) timeline. It communicates the frustration felt by
disenfranchised voters, and drives players to take action by making it easy to
register to vote.

AWARDS & RECOGNITION

 * RAF American Advertising Awards - Online Interactive
 * RAF American Advertising Awards - Political Advertising



SQUIRE FOR HIRE

2020

Letiman Games and Jon Merchant asked us to help them bring their innovative 1-4
player tile laying table top game to Android and iOS in a way that would make it
feel like it was designed to be there in the first place.

The result? A game that "does a wonderful job of capturing the feeling of the
original game" while improving on UX issues in the physical game. But we didn't
just develop an excellent mobile adaptation of the original game, we also worked
with Letiman and Jon to add mobile-exclusive features like challenges,
achievements, leaderboards, unlockable content, and more while still staying
within their budget.

AWARDS & RECOGNITION

 * App-solutely Amazing - Squire for Hire (Digital Edition)
 * Squire for Hire Review - Pixelated Cardboard

TESTIMONIALS

Who we've worked with



AeLa are the first people I call when I have a problem to solve, and need to
trust that it just gets done on time.
Quick, easy to talk to, no-nonsense, and talented. What more could you ask for?


ANDY MOORE

RADIAL GAMES

AeLa went above and beyond in creating our Squire for Hire App. They were
willing to work with us to implement all of our needs and more. They even were
willing to adapt to work beyond the scope of our agreement while still
delivering on schedule.

ABOUT

Who we are

Aesthetician Labs (pronounced “es-the-tish-en”) is a worker-owned games
cooperative based in beautiful Rochester, NY. We founded AeLa in 2018 after
winning the New York State Game Dev challenge with our game, Crazy Platez. Our
team has experience building games for many different platforms including
desktop, console, mobile, and beyond. We've even built an arcade cabinet!

Our Vision

We're children of the internet. We grew up during the golden era of Flash games
and as designers, we cut our teeth on game jams like Ludum Dare and Global Game
Jam. We've spent years honing our skills building games inspired by online
culture, and we continue to bring the quirky, tight, and juicy energy of the
Flash era to the games we make today.

As queer creators, we bring our experiences and perspectives into the stories we
tell. We want to make games that are silly, whimsical, and subversive while
still being sincere, uplifting, and accessible for everyone.

Our Mission

Our core mission as a cooperative is to enable our members to focus on their
creative passions by cultivating a secure and sustainable environment. AeLa's
goal is to serve as a "shield" from capitalism with equitable pay, security, and
compassionate production schedules that best support our members.

We're also committed to consensus-based operations, transparency, and
accountability. We each have our specialties, but everyone has a voice and a
vote when it comes to the decisions we make. We believe this makes for both
stronger work and better working conditions for our members.
