Case study

Candle Gift

Hyper-casual runner · launched January 2022

“Start as a hobbyist and build your candle kingdom. Colour candles in layers, give them shapes and wrap them as presents.”

Candle Gift was a runner where you collected candles, dipped them in coloured wax, pressed them into moulds and wrapped them as gifts. It became our breakout title and was acquired by Rollic Games, the hyper-casual publisher owned by Zynga and, through Zynga, Take-Two Interactive.

How we worked

A small studio built around one loop

Hyper-casual games live or die on numbers, so we built the studio around getting numbers quickly. The loop below is how a two-page idea became a shipped game.

  1. Prototype fast

    Every idea started as a small playable prototype. We kept builds cheap so we could try many ideas instead of betting on one.

  2. Test with real players

    Prototypes went in front of real players through short market tests, so install costs and early retention decided what moved forward.

  3. Keep what works

    Most ideas stopped at the test. The ones with strong numbers got levels, polish and monetisation.

  4. Ship, again and again

    Over four years that loop shipped more than 60 games, several of them with publishing partners such as Rollic.

  • 2020 founded at ODTÜ Teknokent, Ankara
  • 12 App Store releases in 2023 alone
  • 60+ games shipped by 2024
