Hi, I’m Manu

Hi! I’m Manu. I’m from Spain (that’s the accent in the devlogs) and I live in the UK.

Games got me early. My first Nintendo DS meant Pokémon and Animal Crossing, and after that came Habbo, World of Warcraft and far too many hours of League of Legends. Around 2010 I was making silly little games in Adobe Flash, and that’s when I decided this is what I wanted to do.

It took a while to get here. I’ve been making games properly since 2022, and Pomo Games is where they live now: cosy, colourful games made with a small team, with David on the strategy side, Silvia on the art, Joe on ideas and marketing, and Adrian making sure everything runs like a well-optimised factory. Koball, Little Waterways and Purr & Seek are out on iOS and Android, and Tidewell, Aquis, Nyth and No Returns Allowed are on the way.

By day I co-run a marketing, design & development company, and everything from that job ends up in the games too.

Outside of games I teach yoga, write, garden, read, and have about 200 other hobbies. A jack of all trades is a master of none, and I’ve made peace with that.

Find me around the web:

Who’s involved

I don’t do it all alone

  • David

    Strategy game lifer

    Has been playing strategy games for longer than either of us wants to count. Every hour of that ends up in how the games play: the rules, the balance, the one more turn.

  • Silvia

    Draws everything, smashes every pot

    Has been drawing and illustrating for years, and is completely obsessed with Zelda. If something in a game looks good, it is hers. If it is hidden in a pot, she has already found it.

  • Adrian

    Professional conveyor belt watcher

    Loves automation games. He is the kind of person who rebuilds his Satisfactory factory a thousand times until it is perfectly optimised, then spends hours doing nothing but watching things roll past on the conveyor belts.

  • Joe

    Ideas, marketing, Marvel trivia

    Helps with the marketing and comes up with a lot of the ideas (not all of them good). Loves cosy and strategy games, has spent more hours fixing traffic in Cities: Skylines than anyone should, and will tell you the right order to watch every Marvel film whether you asked or not.

Jack of all trades

Master of none

Games are the one that stuck. These are the rest.
