Meet the Co-Founders
We’re Tom and Charlene — a husband-and-wife team building Ninjadoodle as a home for curious play. We make short games, story worlds, and a monthly zine that all belong to the same evolving universe. No ads. No noise. Just a place worth coming back to.
Each month, we add to the Ninjadoodle world: a free ClickPlay game for everyone, plus members-only Ninjadoodle games, Lanternbound story worlds, and the Ninjadoodle’zine.
Charlene
Co-Founder · Studio & Membership
Charlene shapes the experience around the games: the monthly release rhythm, the zine, the world lore, and the “inside” of membership. She keeps Ninjadoodle focused, coherent, and easy to return to — so the playful parts stay simple and the world keeps expanding without turning into a mess. She also makes the sandwiches.
Tom (Ninjadoodle)
Co-Founder · Games & Worlds
Tom is the original Ninjadoodle — an indie game creator known for years of quirky, clever web games. He designs and builds the games, crafts the characters and worlds, and sets the tone: playful, curious, and sometimes a little weird. If it feels like Ninjadoodle, it passed through Tom’s hands.
