Megagon Industries

Megagon Industries is an independent game developer and publisher based in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 2013, the studio creates games for PC, consoles and, historically, mobile devices. Its work combines physics-driven play, carefully designed environments and a minimalist visual style, with mountain sports becoming a defining focus of its portfolio.

The studio began with experimental mobile puzzle games. Its early releases included ... and then it rained in 2014 and Twisted Lines in 2016, a minimalist line-drawing game. These projects preceded its move into larger sports titles for computers and consoles.

From mountain biking to winter sports

Megagon became widely known for Lonely Mountains: Downhill, an arcade mountain-biking game built around physics-based riding, low-poly landscapes and ambient wilderness soundscapes. Published by Thunderful Publishing, it reached PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch across 2019 and 2020. Its reception included Independent Games Festival nominations and recognition at the German Computer Game Awards. Subsequent downloadable content and updates expanded the game, including Eldfjall Island, Riley's Return and Redmoor Falls.

In January 2025, the studio self-published Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders. The game extended the mountain-sports series into winter settings and introduced cooperative and competitive multiplayer across platforms. The Highlands expansion followed later in 2025, continuing development of the newer title.

Development capabilities

The studio's multidisciplinary development work spans game and level design, gameplay programming, network and backend engineering, and 2D and 3D environment art. Its technical capabilities also include console porting and build pipeline management, supporting releases across PC and console platforms.

Megagon's progression from mobile puzzles to mountain-sports games has been accompanied by a broader production scope: environmental art, physics-driven gameplay, multiplayer systems and publishing now sit within its development practice. The transition to self-publishing with Snow Riders marked a further step in how the studio brings its games to players.
