The company has moved locations several times, but has always been in California. Hamumu Software is most famous for their game Dr. Lunatic Supreme with Cheese and their puzzle game website, Dumb: The Game.

[edit] Inside jokes

There are several inside jokes found on Hamumu website or in their games.

  • Hamumu's site and games claim to be Dumb, because of their general wackiness. There are many random taglines found on the upper right corner, most of which are parodies of pop culture (e.g.: "He's Dumb, Jim.").
  • The Happy Stick Man was originally in a game called Mucho Kombat, which was made by Mike Hommel, later founder of Hamumu Software. However, they were carried over to Dr. Lunatic, and have appeared (or at least another stick figure character) in nearly every game since.
