About ColdFire Games

ColdFire Games is an independent German mobile game developer and publisher based in Karlsruhe. Founded in 2016, the studio creates games for iOS and Android, with a particular focus on idle gameplay, tycoon games and management simulations. Its work spans casual and hyper-casual gaming, combining incremental progression with themes ranging from space trading to business management.

The studio's debut release, Idle Space Clicker, launched in 2016 and combined idle clicker mechanics with shoot-'em-up and arcade action. Subsequent games developed its management simulation focus: Idle Space Manager explores a science-fiction trading empire, Idle Casino Manager - Tycoon centers on casino resort management, and Idle Dungeon Manager combines fantasy RPG themes with idle progression and arena management.

Later releases extended this approach into other settings. Idle Bee Manager focuses on apiary and honey production, Idle Hiking Manager uses nature reserve and trail management, and Idle Convention Manager puts players in charge of an exhibition and convention business. Across its catalog, the studio's games have collectively generated millions of downloads on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

ColdFire Games develops and self-publishes its own mobile titles. Its capabilities include game design, interface and user experience design, and the creation of 2D and 3D mobile assets. Its publishing activities also encompass monetization, telemetry, ongoing live operations and player support, supporting games beyond their initial release.
