About Tapps Games
Tapps Games is a Brazilian mobile game developer and publisher with its main development base in São Paulo and European publishing operations in Porto, Portugal. Founded in 2010, the studio initially developed utility software and early mobile applications before shifting its focus to games during 2011–2012. Its portfolio spans casual games, idle and incremental titles, virtual pets, time-management games, tycoon simulations and interactive stories.
The studio has released more than 400 titles, with over one billion lifetime downloads across Google Play and the Apple App Store. Its games combine approachable themes with formats ranging from short arcade experiences to ongoing simulation and progression systems. The company develops its own intellectual property while also providing publishing services and collaborating with external development studios.
Games and franchises
The Evolution franchise explores creature-merging and incremental clicker mechanics through titles such as Cow Evolution, Chicken Evolution, Goat Evolution and Octopus Evolution. Virtual pet games form another substantial part of the portfolio, including My Boo, My Boo 2 and My Virtual Pet Shop.
Other releases include the creator lifestyle simulator Vlogger Go Viral, the arcade game Toilet Time, the auction and business simulation series Bid Wars, and the Money Tree games. Its wider catalogue also includes the fossil exploration games Dino Quest and Dino Quest 2, the Do Not Disturb! series, the interactive story game Dear Diary, and the roguelike deck-building game Card Guardians.
Development and publishing
Tapps offers full-cycle mobile game design and development, supported by software engineering, 2D and 3D art, animation and asset production. Its publishing capabilities cover monetization, user acquisition, growth marketing and store listing optimization. Live operations support the continuing management of released games, with work focused on acquisition, retention and monetization. Co-development and external studio partnerships extend this production and publishing model beyond its internally developed catalogue.
