Ringtail Interactive AB

Ringtail Interactive AB was a Swedish mobile game developer and multiplayer infrastructure provider, originally established as iGotcha Studios in 2014. Its early work focused on location-based mobile games and augmented reality, combining physical exploration with strategy and virtual interaction.

The studio initially developed games intended to connect players with their surroundings through mobile devices. Its capabilities included mobile game development, location-based game design, augmented reality gameplay and Unity development. Over time, the business expanded beyond creating games into the software infrastructure needed to support online multiplayer experiences.

Games and technology

The company's released mobile title, Harveston: Farm & Island Sim, was also published as Harveston: Island in the Sky. The farming simulation incorporated GPS and social networking mechanics and appeared on iOS and Android. Its legacy application identifier retained the iGotcha Studios name after the company's transition to Ringtail.

Alongside its game production, Ringtail developed multiplayer networking architecture and backend-as-a-service technology. This expansion brought game development and online infrastructure work into the same business, with dedicated internal divisions for mobile gaming and backend technology. Its infrastructure work aimed to simplify game server development and support connected games.

Company history

The business was founded in Stockholm by Susanne Birgersdotter and incorporated in November 2014. On September 2, 2020, the same registered company changed its name from iGotcha Studios AB to Ringtail Interactive AB. This was a continuation of the existing company under a new name.

Ringtail subsequently expanded its operations, but later became insolvent. It entered formal Swedish bankruptcy proceedings on December 12, 2024. Those proceedings concluded on April 17, 2026, and the operating company closed. Its original and rebranded websites are reported as inactive.
