Rake in Grass

Rake in Grass at a Glance

Rake in Grass is a small studio based in Prague, Czech Republic, that has been active since the year 2000. The team consists of only three people who have released thirteen games over more than two decades. Their work appears on PlayPile as both publisher and developer, with titles spanning from PC and Mac to various PlayStation consoles, iOS devices, and Linux systems. They focus heavily on indie games, with ten releases in that category, while also producing seven adventure titles, six arcade games, five role-playing games, and four strategy games. The studio's output has slowed down over time. They released five games during the 2000s, followed by four in the 2010s, and only three entries in the 2020s so far. Despite this reduced pace, their reputation remains strong among critics. Out of eight titles with ratings, four are considered great with scores above 80, three are rated as good between 60 and 79, and one falls into the mixed range between 40 and 59. No games from this developer have received poor scores. Their most acclaimed work is the Jets'n'Guns series. The original game from 2004 scored 80.1 out of 100, while its sequel released in 2020 achieved a high score of 89.8. Other notable hits include Rampage Knights from 2015 with an 81.5 rating and Northmark: Hour of the Wolf from 2014 which scored 80. The franchise also includes a Gold version released in 2007 that reached 78.6 points. Recent releases show they are still working, with Silent Sector appearing in February 2021 and Bellfortis scheduled for June 2025. While their catalog covers many genres like shooters, simulators, and fighting games, the numbers suggest a clear preference for arcade and adventure experiences on PC. The quality of their work has remained consistently high across different eras. Even as the volume of releases dropped in recent years, their latest major title, Jets'n'Guns 2, maintained the strong performance seen in their earlier decades. This consistency suggests that the small team prioritizes maintaining a solid standard even when producing fewer games each year.
