Space Sheep Games

Space Sheep Games is a Brazilian mobile game developer focused on free-to-play casual and social games for iOS and Android. Based in Greater São Paulo, the studio develops puzzle games, auction and tycoon simulators, offline card games, and arcade titles for an international audience. Its work combines game design and engineering with visual development, ongoing content production, and live operations.

The studio was established in 2020, following the separation of business operations previously associated with Tapps Games. René Retz and Flávio Miyamaru pursued independent paths, with Miyamaru continuing at Tapps Games and Retz establishing Space Sheep Games and the By Aliens publishing group. Existing franchises including Bid Wars and Logic Pic became part of the new enterprise. This operating history is distinct from the earlier incorporation of the legal entity subsequently renamed for Space Sheep Games.

Games and development

The studio's portfolio spans several forms of accessible mobile play. The Bid Wars franchise centres on auctions and business management, while Logic Pic uses nonogram logic puzzles. Its broader catalogue includes Spoon Tycoon, the idle arcade game Slimebane, and offline video poker titles such as Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better, and Joker Poker.

Production capabilities include full-cycle mobile development using Unity and Cocos2d-x, alongside concept art, character and environment design, 2D animation, and interface design. Work on established games extends beyond release through content updates, events, monetization, and performance marketing optimization.

Publishing relationships

Space Sheep Games works with By Aliens, which handles global publishing, user acquisition, and commercialization for core franchises. This collaboration connects the studio's development work with the publishing and marketing operations supporting its games internationally.

In February 2024, The Collective Ace Group acquired By Aliens. Space Sheep Games continues operating as a dedicated development studio within that wider network, with ongoing updates and live operations across its mobile catalogue.
