Ads and purchases together
Sensor Tower reports that hybrid-casual revenue now splits about evenly between ads and in-app purchases.
So we plan both from the first design, and test the mix instead of guessing it.

Feel Lab
The same game, with and without the magic
Players decide whether a game feels good within seconds. Play this little phone puzzle, then switch things off and feel what is missing. This polish is what we add to every game we build.

Player value calculator
Does a player earn back what they cost?
Paid growth only works when a player earns more than it cost to find them. Put in your own numbers, or start with these examples.
What one player has earned you by each day, against what they cost to win. US dollars, using a simple retention curve fitted to your two numbers.
What's changing
What the leaders are doing, and what we do about it
The shifts we are building for right now, each with its source.
Players try before they commit
Playable demos are back as a measurable way to reach players.
A playable built from your real game can sit on your site and in your ads.

Studio sites are moving from brochures to something visitors play and share, with result images made for social.
So our demos end with a score card and a friend challenge.

Mobile game development FAQs
How much does it cost to make a mobile game?
It depends on the game. A simple single-player puzzle game is a much smaller build than a multiplayer game with an online economy. We scope it on a free call and send a written quote before work starts.
Do you publish to both the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare the listings, ratings and builds for both stores and handle the submissions.
Can my game make money?
Yes. We can add rewarded ads, in-app purchases or a subscription, and set them up to follow each store's rules.
