About Kiloo
Kiloo is a Danish game developer and publisher based in Aarhus, with a history spanning early mobile games, smartphone releases and browser-based entertainment. Founded in 2000, the company now focuses on instant, free-to-play games delivered through its browser gaming platform. Its current work includes developing, converting and publishing games that run across desktop, tablet and mobile browsers without downloads or installations.
The studio's browser catalogue covers casual games, endless runners, racing, action and multiplayer shooters. Its activities combine original development with adaptations and rebuilds of existing intellectual property, bringing elements of its mobile catalogue into web formats. Browser releases include Tank Headz, Rocket Racers, Bullet Bonanza, Fields of Fury and Warbands, alongside new versions of Smash Champs and Frisbee Forever 2. The supplied research also identifies a web-based version of MetroLand as being in development.
From mobile development to instant play
Kiloo began in the pre-smartphone mobile market, creating Java-based games and adaptations of established entertainment properties. Its later smartphone portfolio included Frisbee Forever, Bullet Time HD, Smash Champs, Dawnbringer and Tesla Tubes. Collaborative releases included Stormblades with Emerald City Games and Spellbinders with Funday Factory.
The company's best-known collaboration was Subway Surfers, released with SYBO Games in 2012. Kiloo contributed game design, monetization, analytics and commercial publishing, while SYBO contributed character design and world building. Kiloo's involvement ended in 2020, when publishing and live operations transferred entirely to SYBO.
Following the 2022 mobile release of MetroLand, Kiloo ended its full-scale mobile development studio operations and laid off its mobile workforce in June 2023. That operational closure did not dissolve the company. Kiloo subsequently concentrated on browser development and publishing, continuing to operate from Aarhus. This transition connects its established game catalogue with a smaller operating model centred on accessible, instant-play web releases.
