About MotionVolt Games

MotionVolt Games is an independent game developer and publisher based in Helsinki, Finland. Founded in 2015 by Atte Ilvessuo, the studio creates casual action games built around physics, acrobatics and accessible controls. Its work spans mobile devices, PC and browser platforms, with a particular emphasis on ragdoll movement, aerial tricks and timing-based challenges.

Ilvessuo established the company after leaving RedLynx, which he had previously co-founded. MotionVolt initially incorporated as Wildgem Independent Studios Oy before adopting its current name in August 2015. The studio developed its identity around tightly tuned physical interactions and single-touch controls, applying these mechanics to diving, trampolining, parkour and stunt games.

Physics-driven games

The studio's best-known releases include Flip Diving, launched in 2016, and Flip Master, released in 2017. Their diving and trampoline mechanics combine player-controlled tricks with ragdoll simulation. Subsequent games extend this approach into other settings: Flip Runner focuses on rooftop freerunning and urban obstacles, while Backflipper: Flip City & Space uses timed backflips as its central action mechanic.

The wider portfolio includes cooperative physics platforming and jumping puzzles in Loco Pets, casual action in Juicy Smash, ragdoll combat in Immortal Steel: Ragdoll Rage, and puzzle gameplay in Itz Pieces. By the report's November 2026 research date, MotionVolt's portfolio had surpassed 250 million downloads worldwide.

Publishing and platforms

Several early releases were published in partnership with Miniclip. MotionVolt also self-publishes and continues to update its mobile catalog. Its capabilities cover game design, development, physics modeling, gameplay prototyping and ongoing game operations.

Beyond iOS and Android, the studio has expanded to PC through Steam with Flip Master, featuring expanded arena trampolining and mid-air physics control. It also operates MotionVolt Play, a browser platform offering quick-play casual puzzle and skill games.
