Boilerplate
Short: LynchPin Games is a one-person studio making approachable, well-crafted mobile games with no ads, no subscriptions, and one honest permanent unlock.
Long: LynchPin Games is a one-person studio, founded and run by Sean Lynch, building calm, well-made mobile games — sorting puzzles, a two-otter virtual pet, a real-time conquest map, and a zoo builder — under a deliberately old-fashioned commercial promise: no advertising, a free edition that is a real game, and a single non-consumable purchase that permanently unlocks the rest. The games are built in Godot with AI coding tools handling much of the implementation and the founder doing the design, tuning, and testing; puzzle generators prove each board solvable by simulation before a player ever sees it. Made for our family. Shared with yours.

Logos
Vector SVG, ready for print or screen. Keep clear space equal to the diameter of the pin head around the logo, and please do not recolour, distort, or add effects to the mark.
Per-game logos
The wordmark never changes; the pin head does. Use a game's own version on anything about that game, and the primary logo everywhere else.
