HandyGames is an independent developer and publisher of mobile games headquartered in Giebelstadt, Germany. The company develops downloadable and pre-installed games and applications for mobile phones.

Company

The company was founded in 2000 by brothers Christopher and Markus Kassulke along with Udo Bausewein. In 2006, HandyGames released its first free, ad-funded game and began the gradual transition to a largely ad-funded business model. Since 2010, all new HandyGames titles are either free or freemium.

HandyGames went "Beyond Mobile" in early 2012 and has since released games for the PC and the Ouya console. HandyGames is one of the six top-tier backers of the Android-powered OUYA Video Game Console project on Kickstarter and also backed the animation tool Spine.

In January 2014 and 2015, the company were main sponsors for the "HandyGames Charity Day" in Würzburg, which aimed to raise funds for cancer research. On both occasions the event was able to raise roughly 50000 Euros.

HandyGames was one of the first companies to launch games for wearable technology in 2014. The games are working on Android Wear devices, including the Moto 360 by Motorola, the Sony SmartWatch and the LG G Watch.

The company has started developing VR (Virtual Reality) Games 2015 and released titles like "Hidden Temple - VR Adventure". You can play them in a 360° mode or immerse yourself in another dimension and experience with one of the supported head-mounted displays like the Google Cardboard or Samsung Gear VR.
