About Mavis Games

Mavis Games is an independent mobile game developer and publisher based in Istanbul, Türkiye. Founded in 2018 by Saygın Topatan, the studio develops casual and hybrid-casual games for iOS and Android, combining accessible mechanics with an emphasis on game feel and long-term player retention.

Its work spans block-sliding puzzles, merge mechanics, roguelite upgrades and auto-battler combat. The studio handles both development and publishing, with capabilities covering game design, Unity software engineering, artwork, animation and ongoing live operations. Its commercial work also includes in-game economy design, advertising monetization and in-app purchase optimization.

Games and development

Slidey: Block Puzzle helped establish the studio internationally. Its central mechanic asks players to slide blocks horizontally, complete lines and trigger cascades. The game was published in partnership with Habby and became an early milestone in Mavis Games’ development.

The studio’s portfolio also includes Spinner Wars: Merge Arena, a 2026 mobile release that combines spinning-top merge mechanics with action-strategy gameplay, roguelite upgrades and automated battles. Mavis Games released the title through its own developer and seller accounts. Paint Blast, available on Android, extends its catalog into casual puzzle and coloring gameplay.

Across its games, Mavis Games combines development with continued operation after release. Player retention, live-game analysis and monetization form part of that approach, alongside visual production in both 2D and 3D. Its games serve international mobile audiences, including markets in North America, Europe, East Asia and Latin America.
