Meet Renegade Reels, an independent game and app studio in Cincinnati
Renegade Reels is a tiny Cincinnati studio making the games and apps we wish were already on our phones. Here's who we are, what we're building and why half our profits go to charity.

We're a tiny Cincinnati studio making the games and apps we wish were already on our phones: quick to pick up, fair to play, and worth coming back to.
From video to apps
Renegade Reels started out in Cincinnati making quick, affordable social videos for small businesses. That work taught us a few things we still live by: move fast, keep it simple, and make it look good.
Now we put those same habits into games and apps of our own. Renegade Reels LLC is still small, still based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and still building everything with care.
If you found us while looking for video production help: we don't make videos anymore, but we're happy to point you to great local video teams. Just send us an email.
What we're building
We have three apps on the way to the App Store:
- Nothing Gets Through TD is a retro fantasy tower defense game for iPhone and iPad. It is the Flash tower defense you loved, rebuilt for your thumb, with 10 towers, 20 final forms, 6 worlds and 60 levels.
- Flatten Everything is a one-thumb snowball game for iPhone. Start as a tiny snowball, flatten anything smaller than you and end as an unstoppable giant across 15 worlds.
- Hesed is a free, private Bible journal for iPhone and iPad. Pray for the people you love, then let them know. No ads, no account.
Half of our profits go to charity
Renegade Reels LLC gives 50% of its profits to charity. We're a small studio today, but that's the point: the more our apps grow, the more we give. Every game we make is built to be fun first. If people enjoy it, it ends up doing some good too.
