What we're building
Our first title launches on mobile in early 2027, and our next game, headed to PC on Steam, is already in development.

Our second game is in early development for PC, with a release planned on Steam. It's too soon to show, but when it's ready, you'll see it here first.
Partner with us
Publishers, platform teams, brands and creators: we're open to partnerships around our current and upcoming games.
What we do
From first prototype to live game
We handle every stage in-house, so each game ships with one clear vision and keeps getting better after launch.
Game design & development
Original games designed and built in-house, for phones, tablets and PC.
Publishing & live operations
We launch and run our own games, with seasons, events, balancing and regular updates.
Built for every player
We localize our games for players worldwide and tune them for every screen, from phones and foldables to PC.
Privacy & fair play
Clear privacy choices, age-appropriate settings, and ads that players choose to watch.
How we make games
Principles we don't compromise on
Good games earn their place on your phone. These rules shape every design decision we make.
01
Respect the player's time
Short sessions, no energy timers, and progress that always moves forward.
02
Fair by design
Rewarded ads are optional, prices are clear, and odds are shown before any random reward.
03
Polish on every device
Quality settings for older hardware, layouts that fit every screen, and offline play wherever it makes sense.
Let's talk.
