About Bigger Games
Bigger Games is an Istanbul-based mobile game developer and publisher founded in 2019. The studio creates casual and puzzle games for iOS and Android, with work spanning physics-based challenges, sorting puzzles, match-3 adventures and hybrid-puzzle formats. Its development approach emphasizes intuitive mechanics, polished visuals and sustained player engagement.
The company's early releases included Hoop Stack, Hollo Ball, Color Rope and Rope Rescue!. These casual and puzzle titles collectively helped the studio surpass 110 million worldwide downloads. Its catalogue also includes Fit the Ball 3D and Tasty Match: Cook and Puzzle, reflecting a focus on accessible mobile experiences built around distinct puzzle mechanics.
From casual puzzles to social match-3
Bigger Games subsequently expanded its production scope into casual match-3 and hybrid-puzzle games. In March 2024, it launched Kitchen Masters, a culinary-themed match-3 adventure combining tactical puzzle progression with social competition. The game became a flagship title, and the studio continued scaling it through 2026 alongside development of additional puzzle releases.
Those newer releases include Sandy Blocks Jam, which combines sliding-block puzzles with sand-flow mechanics; Splashy Spin: Water Beads Jam, built around rotating bead puzzles; and Bus Out: Crowd Jam!, a grid and traffic puzzle game. Together, these projects extend the studio's catalogue across several variations of casual puzzle play.
Development and publishing
The studio's capabilities cover full-cycle mobile game development, publishing and live operations. Its production work encompasses game design, mobile game art, 2D animation, creative asset production and motion graphics. Analytics, monetization architecture, rapid prototyping and game optimization support the development and ongoing operation of its games, while performance marketing and user acquisition form part of its commercial capabilities.
Bigger Games maintains its core development presence in Istanbul, supported by an internal technology and research branch. Its business remains focused on mobile gaming and casual digital entertainment.
