About Good Job Games

Good Job Games is an Istanbul-based mobile game developer and publisher focused on casual puzzle and modern Match-3 games for global iOS and Android audiences. Founded in 2017, the company first built its international profile in hyper-casual games before shifting its development focus toward deeper, longer-retention puzzle experiences.

The studio develops games across the full product lifecycle, combining game design and narrative architecture with Unity development, level-design optimisation, live operations, publishing, performance marketing and monetisation. Its capabilities also include proprietary level analytics and cloud-build automation.

Games and portfolio evolution

Good Job Games’ current flagship franchises include Match Villains, a character-driven Match-3 heist puzzle game, and Wonder Blast, a family-adventure collapse puzzle game supported through ongoing live operations. The company also developed Zen Match, which it sold to Moon Active in 2022.

Earlier credits include hyper-casual titles such as:

  • Color Bump 3D
  • Fun Race 3D
  • Run Race 3D
  • Paper Fold
  • Color Fill 2D and Color Fill 3D
  • Slices, Jelly Shift and Paper.io 2

In 2023, the company divested its hyper-casual portfolio to AI Games FZ, the casual publishing subsidiary of Azur Games, enabling Good Job Games to concentrate on Match-3 and casual puzzle development.

Current direction

Good Job Games continues to expand Match Villains and Wonder Blast as global game franchises. The company operates as an independent private corporation and remains active in game development, publishing and live operations.
