About Mage
Mage is a mobile game development and publishing studio based in İzmir, Türkiye. Founded in 2022 and also operating publicly as Mage Games, it develops competitive real-time player-versus-player games and casual mobile titles. Its work combines in-house game production with automated development systems designed to support scalable production and continuous product optimization.
The studio’s capabilities span mobile game development, publishing, live-game operations, user acquisition and performance marketing. Rapid prototyping, monetization and live-operations optimization form part of its production approach. Alongside individual games, Mage develops a proprietary production framework that brings together reusable systems and tools for building and operating mobile titles.
Competitive football and casual puzzles
Goal Battle is the studio’s flagship mobile game, available on iOS and Android. It adapts arcade football into fast-paced, 90-second, one-versus-one street-soccer matches. Its rules dispense with traditional fouls and offsides, focusing play on short competitive encounters. The game was developed within the Dokuz Eylül University Technopark ecosystem and has reached several million downloads across markets including Europe, Latin America and the Middle East and North Africa.
Mage’s portfolio also includes Solitaire Sort: Color Cards!, a casual mobile puzzle game built around sorting and card-merging mechanics. Together, these releases reflect the studio’s interests in both multiplayer sports games and accessible puzzle experiences.
The company operates as an independent, venture-backed studio. Its business combines development of its own mobile portfolio with publishing and the production infrastructure needed to support games through launch and ongoing operation.
