Groovy Antoid

Groovy Antoid was an independent Lebanese game development studio founded in Beirut in 2016. Its work centred on accessible 2D mobile and web games, combining quirky characters with straightforward mechanics. The studio developed for iOS, Android, browsers and instant or messenger-based gaming platforms, with a portfolio spanning arcade games, platformers, puzzles and experimental game-jam projects.

The company emerged from Lebanon’s indie game-jam community. Early concepts included Brane, developed for the 2015 Arabic Game Jam in Beirut, before the studio’s formal founding. Its subsequent work brought that experimental approach into commercial mobile development and short-form browser experiences.

Games and production

Its flagship release, Fat Bunny: Endless Hopper, appeared on iOS and Android in 2017–2018. Distributed in China through CMGE, the game surpassed three million downloads there and recorded more than 100,000 Google Play installs. Other releases included Sticky Pigeons, a browser and Windows action-versus game, alongside browser projects such as Temple Turner, Boom Boat and Glitch Control.

Alongside its own games, Groovy Antoid undertook co-development and work-for-hire prototyping for mobile publishers. Its capabilities covered game design, programming, concept art, 2D assets and character animation. Publishing relationships included Voodoo, Kwalee, Rakuten and CMGE, connecting its small independent production operation with international distribution and commercial development opportunities.

Company development

Participation in accelerator programmes helped the studio develop its commercial approach and international partnerships. It joined Speed@BDD in 2017 and the Rakuten Accelerator powered by Techstars in 2018.

The company later moved from physical studio operations to a fully remote model around 2021–2022. Active production ceased by 2023–2024, and the studio was reported as inactive and deadpooled by the November 2026 research date.
