Supercolony

Supercolony was an American mobile game developer and publisher established in 2018 as the North American subsidiary of South Korean game company Vespa. Based in California, it focused on accessible mid-core mobile games, combining action role-playing mechanics with character collection and controls designed for mobile devices.

Its flagship production, Catopia: Rush, was a portrait-oriented action RPG for iOS and Android. Players guided feline characters through dungeons using a one-handed virtual joystick, with hero collection and base customization extending the experience beyond combat. The game brought together cat-themed character design, action encounters and progression systems within a format built around touchscreen play.

Following closed beta testing in late 2020 and a regional soft launch in April 2021, Catopia: Rush launched worldwide on June 2, 2021, across more than 150 countries. Supercolony's work encompassed mobile game development, game design, art production, publishing and community management, with Unity identified as its development engine.

The studio also extended the game's setting into digital comics through Catopia University, an official companion webcomic published on Tapas and Webtoon. This connected its mobile game work with a broader approach to developing characters and stories across entertainment formats.

Supercolony subsequently wound down. Active development updates stopped by late 2021, Catopia: Rush was later removed from mobile storefronts, and its online services were discontinued. The company's website domain expired, while its official game social channels ceased activity after mid-2021. Its parent, Vespa, entered corporate rehabilitation in August 2022 and later adopted the name Anic. The available research describes Supercolony as defunct without establishing an exact closure date.
