Dust Games is a Barcelona-based independent video game studio that makes family-friendly party games and also builds gamified experiences in digital and physical formats. Its flagship title, Roombattle, is a party battler for up to six players in which players control customisable vacuum cleaners in arena fights and minigames, with local and online multiplayer. The studio self-published it on Steam for PC and Linux on 25 March 2026. Before launch the game was shown at London Game Fest, BitSummit, Gamescom, BCN Game Fest and Mobile World Congress, and it won a Creatic Award. The studio was founded in 2023 by TecnoCampus students and graduates and was incubated in the 9th edition of the GameBCN programme. It has worked with platforms including AirConsole and Blacknut.
