Traplight Games

Traplight Games is an independent Finnish mobile game development studio founded in 2010. Based in Jyväskylä, it develops its own games and works with partners on brand collaborations and co-development projects. Its work spans free-to-play games, player-created content, physics-based racing, auto-battlers and multiplayer experiences.

Player creativity has been a recurring focus of the studio’s development history. Its early concept What on Earth! evolved into Big Bang Racing, a physics-based mobile puzzle racer released globally in 2016. The game combined racing and puzzle mechanics with track-creation tools, giving players a central role in building its playable content. Its community produced more than 10 million stages.

Traplight subsequently created Battle Legion, an asynchronous mass-battle auto-battler and multiplayer spectator game launched globally in 2020. The studio developed and scaled the title before selling it in 2022. The game recorded more than 1.6 billion in-game battles during its development and operating history. Its place in Traplight’s portfolio reflects the studio’s experience with multiplayer systems and ongoing game operations.

Development and partnerships

Following restructuring during 2022–2023, Traplight shifted its commercial emphasis toward co-development and brand partnerships. Its work on Red Bull Padel: Court Legends brought this approach to a mobile sports game featuring real-time multiplayer. Traplight handled development from concept through launch, alongside backend infrastructure and live operations for the Red Bull collaboration.

The studio’s capabilities cover game design and engineering, production tooling, backend systems and post-launch support. Its operating approach combines live operations, telemetry and data analysis to guide content development, alongside community management and player-generated content systems. This connects experience gained from its own mobile releases with the technical and operational requirements of partner projects.
