Our mission
Make joyful, beautifully crafted arcade entertainment that is genuinely free and pressure-free for everyone, everywhere.
Our story
We build tiny universes for fun
Nebula Interactive Studios Ltd. began in 2019 in a rented loft above a noodle bar, where three friends — a designer, an engineer, and a composer — spent their evenings arguing about what made an arcade game feel good. Not what made it profitable. What made it feel good: the weight of a button, the timing of a chime, the little jolt when symbols line up just right.
That obsession became Stardust Slots: a free-to-play, space-themed slot game with no real money, no real prizes, and no strings. Every credit in the game is virtual. Nothing can be bought, and nothing can be cashed out. We wanted something you could enjoy in a coffee break without ever reaching for your wallet.
Today we remain a small, independent team scattered across three time zones, still chasing that same feeling — the quiet thrill of a perfectly tuned machine glowing against the dark.

Our craft
We sweat the details — hand-drawn symbols, original sound design, and animation tuned frame by frame until it feels alive.

Our promise
No real money. No real bets. No real prizes. Just play. We design for delight, not for your bank balance.
What we value
The principles that guide us
Free should mean free
Free-to-play too often hides a catch. We removed the catch. There is no store, no premium currency you can buy, and nothing locked behind a payment. The whole game is open from the first second.
Play in good health
Games are best enjoyed in moderation. We build gentle reminders to take breaks and we keep the experience light, social, and stress-free. It is entertainment — nothing more.
Craft over noise
We would rather ship one delightful, polished thing than ten loud ones. Every animation, sound, and pixel earns its place.
Respect the player
We collect as little data as possible, explain what we do collect in plain language, and never pressure anyone to keep playing.
