I’m Mark Jambor, the developer behind Benderite Games. I build games and simulations for PC and Android, driven by a love of mathematics, physics, and things that move. When I can’t find the game I want to play, I make it myself.
My name is Mark Jambor. I started developing apps because I kept thinking of games that didn’t exist. I’d play something and wish it worked differently, or I’d imagine a whole new kind of game and wonder why nobody had made it. Eventually I stopped waiting.
Benderite Games is my one-person studio. I like building things that are more than a game: flight models with real degrees of freedom, chaotic attractors traced from research papers, flocking behavior you can tune by hand, and the actual mathematics of a wormhole rendered in real time. If it involves physics, math, or a simulation, I’m probably already tinkering with it.
“Fine! I’ll make my own games!”
A mix of action, simulation, and educational experiments. Every title below is playable on itch.io.
An amalgamation of many space combat games with ships based on regular polyhedra. Customize your ships to fight against other shapes in an arena with 9 degrees of freedom (normal 6 degrees of freedom plus 3 degrees of rotational freedom relative to the ship).
Play on itch.io
Fly through caves and around mountains as a fire-breathing dragon. Dodge dragon hunters, weave through giant crystals, and feel what it’s like to fly with realistic physics.
Play on itch.io
Watch relaxing simulations of dozens of chaotic attractors. Over two dozen variations collected from research papers and tinkered into their most visually interesting forms, plus a Swinging Atwood’s Machine.
Play on itch.io
An interactable, real-time rendering of a wormhole, adapted from the mathematics of how light traverses a wormhole. Fly through it, orbit the throat, and change its length.
Play on itch.io
A demo of boid behavior with customizable parameters and a new floid (flockoid) model. Tweak the rules of flocking and see how each value shapes the swarm.

A GMTK game jam entry built around the theme “Out of Control”. Your engines are stuck at full throttle, so dodge asteroids for as long as you can.
