Mobile Game Development

Cross-Platform Mobile Expertise

We build high-performance mobile games for iOS and Android using Unity - the engine behind over 70% of the top mobile titles worldwide. From casual puzzles to complex multiplayer experiences, we handle the unique challenges of mobile: device fragmentation, battery management, touch-first UX, and store compliance. Our team has shipped titles that reached millions of players, including our work on RuneScape Mobile - proving we can handle everything from AAA MMORPG ports to lightweight educational apps. Every build goes through rigorous performance profiling and multi-device QA.

Our Mobile Services

🍎

iOS & Android Development

Native Unity builds for both platforms with shared codebase, platform-specific APIs, and compliance with Apple and Google submission requirements.

👆

Touch-First UI/UX

Intuitive gesture controls, virtual joysticks, haptic feedback, and Safe Area adaptive layouts that feel native to mobile - not a clumsy PC port.

🧪

Device Testing & QA

Comprehensive testing across a wide range of devices, screen sizes, and aspect ratios - from budget Android phones to the latest iPhones and iPads.

🚀

App Store Deployment

End-to-end submission to the Apple App Store and Google Play, including build validation, store asset creation, and compliance reviews.

⚙️

Mobile Performance Tuning

Efficient shaders (URP), draw-call batching, texture compression, and frame-rate limiting to prevent overheating and maximise battery life during play.

Our Mobile Development Process

Mobile development requires a unique approach. We follow a rigorous 4-step workflow designed to navigate device fragmentation, strict App Store guidelines, and user retention mechanics.

1. Concept & Mobile UX Strategy

A great mobile game starts with the user interface. We design “thumb-friendly” layouts and plan your monetisation strategy early to ensure high retention.

Wireframing: Mapping out user flows to ensure menus are intuitive on small screens.
Monetisation Design: Integrating Ads or In-App Purchases (IAP) naturally into the core loop.
Technical Spec: Defining supported Android API levels and iOS requirements.

2. Engineering & Optimisation

We build on a shared codebase using Unity, allowing simultaneous deployment to iOS and Android while keeping performance high.

Efficient Coding: Writing C# scripts optimised for ARM processors to reduce battery drain.
Asset Compression: Optimising textures and audio to keep the initial download size (APK/IPA) small.
Regular Builds: Delivering playable prototypes via TestFlight and Google Play Internal Track every sprint.

3. Device Testing & QA

Your game needs to work on a budget Android phone just as well as the latest iPhone. We stress-test on real hardware, not just emulators.

Fragmentation Testing: Verifying UI scaling across different aspect ratios (notches, tablets, foldables).
Performance Profiling: Ensuring a stable 60 FPS without overheating devices.
Compliance Checks: Pre-validating the app against Apple and Google review guidelines to prevent rejection.

4. Store Submission & Launch

We handle the administrative headache of releasing a game. From certificate management to the final “Publish” button.

Store Setup: Configuring store listings, age ratings, and privacy policies.
App Store Optimisation (ASO): Advising on keywords and screenshots to maximise organic downloads.
Live Operations: Implementing analytics tools (Firebase/Unity Analytics) to track player behaviour post-launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mobile game budgets vary widely. A simple hyper-casual prototype can start from £5,000, while a fully scalable multiplayer RPG typically ranges from £30,000 to £100,000+. We provide detailed quotes that include QA testing and Store submission fees.

We use a tier-based optimisation strategy. We classify devices into Low, Mid, and High performance tiers. We then implement adaptive quality settings that automatically adjust resolution, texture quality, and particle effects based on the user's hardware. This ensures your game runs smoothly on a budget phone while looking stunning on the latest flagship.

If your game is built in Unity, we can often reuse over 80% of the code. The main challenge is User Experience (UX) conversion. We specialise in redesigning complex keyboard/mouse or controller inputs into intuitive touch-screen controls (gestures, virtual joysticks, and haptics) so the game feels native to mobile, not just a clumsy port.

Battery drain usually comes from excessive rendering or physics calculations. We optimise your game by limiting frame rates in static menus, using efficient shaders (URP), and reducing overdraw (rendering pixels multiple times). We also test specifically for thermal throttling to ensure the phone doesn't get hot during long play sessions.

Yes. Modern phones range from wide 16:9 tablets to tall 21:9 devices with camera cutouts (notches). We build Safe Area adaptive UI systems that automatically scale and reposition your buttons and menus so they are never hidden behind a camera hole or cut off at the edges of the screen.

We integrate all major monetisation SDKs, including Unity Ads, AdMob, and IronSource. Beyond just the code, we can help design your In-App Purchase (IAP) economy to be secure and compliant with Apple and Google's strict payment policies, minimising the risk of rejection during review.
