Preston, UK — creator & indie developer

I make technology easier, and build games on the side

I'm Grant. On YouTube I help everyday people get more out of their tech. Off camera, I design and build iOS games under The Computer Lab.

Tech help, explained simply

From quick fixes to full how-tos — Windows, iOS, smart home and everything in between, broken down so it's never confusing.

Native iOS, start to finish

Built entirely in SwiftUI with SpriteKit driving the gameplay layer for smooth, native performance.

spritekit.physics

Physics-driven juggling

Ball physics and timing tuned in SpriteKit for the kind of "just one more go" feel a keepy-uppy game needs.

gamecenter.leaderboard

Game Center leaderboards

Full Game Center integration, so every streak counts toward a global leaderboard.

What's next

A stickman body-part tap mechanic and a power-up tech tree are both in planning for a future update.

layer: roadmap

One tap. One streak. One more go.

Keepy Uppy Footy is a simple idea executed with care: keep the ball up, beat your best streak, climb the leaderboard. Designed and developed independently under The Computer Lab.
