About Bamtang Games
Bamtang Games is an independent video game development studio based in Lima, Peru. Founded in 2002, it develops games for console, PC, mobile and browser platforms, with a portfolio spanning licensed entertainment properties and original projects. Its work includes kart racing, action-brawlers, platformers and puzzle games for family and mass-market audiences.
The studio provides full-cycle development, bringing together game design, prototyping, visual production, programming and audio. Its capabilities include 2D and 3D art, animation, character modeling, gameplay engineering, local cooperative play and online multiplayer systems. It also offers porting, console adaptation, live operations and post-launch support. Supported platforms include Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, mobile and HTML5 browsers.
From browser games to console development
Bamtang’s early commercial work included promotional games and licensed browser titles for entertainment clients. Its portfolio developed from projects such as Quicky’s Adventures and Ben 10: Savage Pursuit into multiplatform releases and larger console productions. The studio released the logic-puzzle game Kilka Card Gods in 2014 and worked with Bandai Namco on Saban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle, released in 2017.
A sustained development and publishing collaboration with GameMill Entertainment subsequently became an important part of its console business. Bamtang developed three mainline Nickelodeon Kart Racers games released between 2018 and 2022, followed by DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing and Avatar: The Last Airbender – Quest for Balance in 2023. Its later portfolio includes Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports and Hot Wheels Let’s Race: Ultimate Speed.
Across these projects, the studio applies its game development capabilities to established characters, fictional worlds and entertainment franchises. Its broader browser portfolio also includes Marvel titles, while its work across original games and licensed productions reflects a development history extending from web distribution to contemporary console and PC markets.
