01 — The brief

Give HOODLUM a landing page that doesn't feel like a landing page — somewhere every link, drop, and booking lives, with enough personality to keep people clicking around.

02 — The approach

Build the whole site as a retro Windows desktop. Music, merch, links, store hours, and booking each open as a draggable window; the streaming platforms sit right on the desktop. Then we hid a full browser game inside it — HOODLUM RUN — so the site is something you play with, not just scroll.

HOODLUM RUN — side-scrolling platformer: HOODLUM running from a cop past a row of coins toward a money pile

A side-scrolling platformer we built from scratch for the HOODLUM world — custom pixel sprites and all. Outrun the cops, grab the coins, and cash out on the money pile at the end of the level.

04 — Notes

A landing page you actually mess around with. The desktop keeps every link and drop in one place; the game gives people a reason to stick around. Designed and built end to end — desktop, windows, sprites, and game.
