Three services, each built for a specific moment

No package bundles, no retainers. Each service addresses one stage of mobile game development clearly — so you can take what fits and leave the rest.

Finding the right fit

The three services below map to early concept, active development, and pre-launch. If you're unsure which stage you're at, read the descriptions and pick the one that sounds most like where you are right now. Or just write to us — we'll point you in the right direction.

Mobile Idea Review
// service 01 $220

Mobile Idea Review

A gentle assessment service for people with an early mobile game concept who want grounded, honest feedback. We talk through your core loop, audience, and rough scope, then share a short written summary with realistic next steps.

It suits first-time creators and side-project builders who would rather start with clarity than commitment. There is no pressure to proceed further — the notes are yours to use however you like.

What's included

  • Review of your concept brief or description
  • Assessment of core loop viability for mobile
  • Notes on audience and rough scope realism
  • Written summary with clear next steps
  • One follow-up question session by email
Prototype Sprint
// service 02 $690

Prototype Sprint

A hands-on development service that turns a single mobile mechanic into a touchable prototype. Built for indie teams and solo developers who learn by playing rather than planning.

Work covers a core gameplay loop, basic touch controls, and a lightweight build you can install and try. The goal is to test the feel early and calmly, so decisions rest on real experience rather than assumptions.

What's included

  • One core mechanic built and implemented
  • Basic touch input and mobile controls
  • Installable build file for iOS or Android
  • Brief build notes explaining what was prioritised
  • One revision pass based on your feedback
Store-Ready Tune-Up
// service 03 $380

Store-Ready Tune-Up

A preparation service that helps a finished mobile build feel ready for a calm, confident launch. Suited to developers who have the game working but want a careful checklist partner.

It includes icon and screenshot review, store text proofreading, and a simple submission guide tailored to your project. We keep things measured and supportive, never rushed.

What's included

  • Icon and screenshot review with written notes
  • Store description and metadata proofreading
  • Platform-specific submission guide (iOS / Android)
  • Common rejection reason checklist tailored to your game
  • One follow-up session if the submission hits unexpected issues

// common questions

Things people often ask before getting started

Do I need a polished concept before reaching out?
Not at all. A rough description of what you have in mind is enough for us to figure out whether an Idea Review makes sense. We're used to working with people at the very beginning — a half-formed idea is a fine starting point.
Can I use more than one service for the same project?
Yes. Some projects move from an Idea Review into a Prototype Sprint, or from a Prototype Sprint into a Store Tune-Up when the build is ready. There's no obligation to do all three, and no discount structure — each service is simply available when you need it.
What platform do you build prototypes for?
We discuss this before the sprint begins. Most prototypes are built for one platform first — typically the one you're planning to launch on. We can confirm what's practical for your specific project after an initial conversation.
Is the Store Tune-Up only for App Store / Google Play?
Those are the main stores we cover. If you're targeting a different distribution channel, mention it when you get in touch and we'll let you know whether the service still makes sense for your situation.
What happens if I'm not satisfied with the output?
We'd want to know. Each service includes at least one opportunity to ask questions or request clarification on the delivery. If something genuinely fell short of what was scoped, we'll work through it with you. We'd rather fix a problem than leave you with something that wasn't useful.

Not sure where to start?

Send us a short note about your project and we'll suggest the service that fits your current stage. No commitment required on your part.
