Fingersoft

Fingersoft is an independent Finnish mobile game developer and publisher best known for the Hill Climb Racing franchise. Based in Oulu, with an additional development presence in Helsinki, the studio creates physics-based driving games and develops its titles through ongoing live operations. Its work spans mobile platforms, browser adaptations and collaborations with other developers and entertainment brands.

Founded in 2012 by Toni Fingerroos, the business began with smartphone camera filters before finding an international audience through the original Hill Climb Racing. The game established the physics-based racing format at the heart of the studio’s portfolio. Its sequel, Hill Climb Racing 2, followed in 2016, and the company has continued expanding the series through Hill Climb Racing 3 and other brand extensions. The franchise has surpassed 2.5 billion lifetime downloads across platforms and generated more than €220 million in net revenue.

Development and publishing

Fingersoft combines full-cycle game development with mobile publishing, distribution, community management and ongoing game operations. Its capabilities include free-to-play design, development for iOS and Android, and in-house game engine and infrastructure work. Browser releases on Poki extend its games beyond their original mobile audience.

The studio’s collaborations include work with the LEGO Group on LEGO Hill Climb Adventures and co-development of Boom Karts with Zaibatsu Interactive. Its broader portfolio also includes Make More! and historical publishing collaborations such as Benji Bananas with Tribeflame and Fail Hard with Viima Games.

Fingersoft remains privately held and employee-owned. Its business model emphasizes long-term creative independence without outside venture capital. In 2016, the operational game development business was formalized as Fingersoft Oy within the Finger Group structure.
