Moon Jump, INC was selected as a recipient of the inaugural Canberra Screen and Games Fund in 2026, receiving early-stage concept prototyping funding. This funding supports the development of their upcoming title, Haul Yeah!, which is a delivery-driving sandbox game.

The studio has developed Starlight Engine, which started as raylib and was rebuilt to own the whole pipeline from console export to custom rendering and neural locomotion. They also offer tutorials on game systems and have a Mechanics Library with 45 long-form interactive tutorials.

The studio is making Haul Yeah!, a colorful physics sandbox about stacking cargo, tightening straps, and getting it there in one piece. The game is available for wishlist on Steam, PS5, and Xbox, and is set to release in 2026.

Moon Jump, INC is backed by the Canberra Screen and Games Fund, which was announced by Michael Pettersson MLA, ACT Minister for Business, Arts and Creative Industries. The fund aims to support local studios in Canberra's growing screen and games sector.

Some users on Reddit have mentioned the 'moon jump' cheat in various games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Ghost of Yotei. This cheat allows players to perform a specific jump mechanic in the game.

The studio's mark is a moon caught at the top of its jump, with its orbit trailing behind like a motion line. This design element is used throughout their website, including in the 'o' of their wordmark and when reading tutorials.

Moon Jump, INC is an independent game studio that shows its working by making it physical, owning the stack, and showing the working. They aim to simulate real-world physics in their games, such as cargo shifting and straps holding or not.

The studio's first game, Haul Yeah!, is a delivery-driving sandbox where packing the truck is half the challenge. Players can stack cargo, tighten the straps, and build their business across a mountain county, solo or in two-player split-screen co-op.

Moon Jump, INC is known for its research into MotionMatrix, which involves wearable motion capture from sparse inertial sensors, wireless synchronisation, and biomechanical reconstruction. This technology allows for motion capture without a camera volume.
