About ByteRockers' Games

ByteRockers' Games is an independent video game developer and indie publisher based in Berlin, Germany. Established in 2008, the studio creates original games for PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Its work spans roguelites, strategy, simulation, cooperative platformers and virtual reality, combining different genres and gameplay systems across its portfolio.

Original game development

The studio's internally developed titles include Insurmountable, a mountain-climbing survival strategy game released in 2021, and Beat Slayer, a rhythm-driven roguelite action game released in 2024. Its earlier work includes the cooperative puzzle-platformers Gelly Break and Gelly Break Deluxe, the tower-defense games BeeFense and BeeFense BeeMastered, the competitive multiplayer platformer Catch Me!, and the virtual reality arcade game VRog.

The research also identifies several projects in development: Net.Attack(), a code-themed bullet hell game; Exovia, a science-fiction mining and exploration simulation; and Solnox: Grimoire of Seasons, an action adventure and role-playing project. Across its development work, the company's capabilities include game design, cross-platform development, node-based visual programming, hand-drawn 2D art and stylized 3D art.

Publishing and production support

In 2024, ByteRockers' Games established a dedicated indie publishing division, extending its business beyond internally developed games. The division draws on the company's production, porting and marketing experience to support external development teams. Its publishing services encompass project scouting and financing, marketing and public relations, quality assurance, product management and community management.

Its external publishing work includes The Regreening from Positive Impact Games and Let Them Trade from Spaceflower. The company also publishes The Berlin Apartment and participates in co-publishing Constance, both developed by bildundtonfabrik. These projects sit alongside its original games, giving the company a combined development and publishing portfolio while keeping the creative contributions of its external partners distinct.
