Our games

First title · Coming soon to iPhone and Android

Paint a canvas of triangles however you like, as simple or as detailed as you want. When you want a challenge, the same canvas becomes a puzzle, and Shardoku turns it into Sudoku played in color.

However you choose to play, your finished canvas becomes a piece of original artwork. Save it, download it, share it with fellow players or family and friends, or print and frame a favorite. The finished puzzle is just the beginning.

How we make games

What we care about

Color first

Our games start from color: how it looks, how it plays, and what you can make with it. Inspired by art, design, and visual culture, we believe a game should be as satisfying to look at as it is to play.

Your pace

Some days call for a clever challenge. Others call for a little calm. Our games make room for both, whether you have five minutes to spare or an evening to lose yourself in color.

Something to keep

A finished game can be more than a score. We want you to create something personal — a little piece of art that's yours to keep, display, or share with the people who matter to you.

The studio

An independent studio

Founded in Maryland in 2026, Pigment Lab is an independent game studio built around a simple idea: games can be smart without being stressful, calming without being boring, and creative without requiring an art degree.

Our games are for puzzle lovers, artists at heart, curious minds, and anyone who just wants a few peaceful minutes in a busy day. You don't have to be a gamer to feel at home here.

Shard is our first game. It draws on mid-century modern design: flat planes of color, clean geometry, and compositions that are bright without being loud.

Everything we release is designed and built in-house. We started Pigment Lab because we couldn't quite find the games we wanted to play: clever puzzles that combine the satisfaction of solving something, the creativity of making art, and the simple pleasure of unwinding. So we decided to build them ourselves.
