Secret Mode Ltd is a small game developer best known for the “A Little to the Left” series — a set of compact, tactile puzzle games that emphasize tidy, satisfying problem solving. The studio focuses on short-form, level-based experiences that blend simple mechanics with careful level design. Their portfolio on this site includes three titles: the original A Little to the Left and two themed follow-ups, Drawers and Stars, which expand on the core rules with new props and objectives.
Rather than aiming for complexity, Secret Mode prioritizes a measured, approachable pace; levels are designed to be picked up in short sittings while still offering layered challenges for completionists. The art direction is warm and functional, complementing the puzzles without distracting from the gameplay. Players and reviewers have repeatedly noted the series’ polish in controls and level tuning, and the studio keeps active support channels — including a website and the [email protected] email — for feedback and troubleshooting.
Secret Mode’s output is deliberate and focused: multiple cohesive releases in a single series show a commitment to refining a concept rather than sprawling across unrelated genres. Their three apps on this catalog demonstrate that approach, offering spin-offs that keep the original game’s spirit while introducing fresh mechanics and themed content to keep players engaged.
