About us
A studio and a publisher under one roof
Whalefall Games is a global company focused on developing and publishing mobile and video games. Our name comes from the whale fall: when a whale settles on the ocean floor, it feeds an entire ecosystem for decades. That is how we think about games — one strong idea that keeps a whole world alive for years.
We combine a creative in-house team with a publishing practice, so every game we touch gets the same care: thoughtful design, solid engineering and a clear plan for reaching players.

How we work
Small bets, fast learning, long-lived games
Every game starts as a question, not a promise. We test ideas early with real players and invest only in the ones that prove themselves.
-
01
Concept & market fit
We explore ideas, study the genre and validate the hook with art tests and marketing creatives before writing much code.
2–4 weeks -
02
Prototype & playtest
A small team builds a playable prototype. We measure early retention and session data and iterate on the core loop.
1–3 months -
03
Soft launch
We release in selected markets, tune the economy and onboarding, and make sure the game can grow sustainably.
2–6 months -
04
Global launch & live ops
Worldwide release with planned user acquisition, regular content updates, live events and community support.
Ongoing
Data-informed, not data-driven
Numbers tell us what players do; design tells us why. We need both to make the right call.
Small teams, real ownership
Each game has a compact team that owns decisions end to end — from the first prototype to live updates.
Respect for players
Fair monetisation, no dark patterns and games that are fun first. Long-term trust is our best growth channel.
