About Poncle
Poncle is the studio behind Vampire Survivors, founded by Luca Galante. What started as a solo project by Luca Galante during the pandemic has since grown into a wider international team making games built around strong mechanics, fair pricing, replayability, and a general reluctance to waste the player’s time.
After the unexpected success of Vampire Survivors, Poncle has continued to grow while sticking to the same basic idea: make games that are accessible, generous, and capable of escalating into complete nonsense when handled correctly.
Alongside its own projects, Poncle also works with and supports other developers who share a similar view of games: respect the player, keep the price fair, and make something worth coming back to.
