About Mighty Games

Mighty Games is an Australian game development and automated quality assurance technology studio based in Melbourne. Founded in 2013, it combines the production of casual, arcade and social games with engineering tools that automate game builds and testing. Its work spans mobile, PC and virtual reality, with services covering creative design, prototyping, development and live operations maintenance.

The studio's game catalogue includes Shooty Skies, Disney Crossy Road and Piffle. Its collaborations with Hipster Whale include co-development of Disney Crossy Road, alongside Disney, and the puzzle adventure Piffle. Other releases include Charming Keep, Charming Runes and Questy Quest. In 2020, Mighty Games expanded into virtual reality with Shooty Skies Overdrive, extending its arcade game work into immersive platforms.

Game development and testing technology

Alongside its games, the company develops Mighty Build and Test, a proprietary automation platform supporting the build, deployment and quality assurance cycle across engines and platforms. Its services combine automated testing with custom engineering and DevOps work for external developers and publishers, including infrastructure optimization and pipelines designed to move builds into testing without manual intervention.

The platform includes TestBot, an autonomous testing system for directed test cases and exploratory play, and TestBuddy, a human-in-the-loop QA automation suite used by Keywords Studios testing teams. The studio's technology work encompasses cross-platform build automation and regression testing, complementing its production capabilities with tools intended for repeated use throughout development.

Keywords Studios acquired Mighty Games in August 2022. The acquisition brought together the studio's game development expertise and its testing technology, supporting integration of the automation platform across Keywords' global QA network. Mighty Games continues to operate with its own identity within Keywords' Create and Globalize service lines, combining game production with the development and deployment of testing tools.

Founders and leadership

The report identifies co-founders Matt Ditton as CEO and Ben Britten-Smith as Technical Director, and states that both remained at the helm following the 2022 acquisition. Crossy Road co-creator Matt Hall also participated in founding the studio; no current executive role is established for him.

Technology origins and methods

The automation pipeline originated internally around 2015–2016, before its business-name registration in July 2022. Its Symbolic AI bots support both deterministic test suites and unstructured exploratory testing. The report describes a testing capacity spanning thousands of hours daily.
