Wraith Games Limited (simply known as Wraith Games, originally known as Mind’s Eye Games[1]) is a video game developer based in Hamilton, Ohio. Founded in March 2005 by Jay Kidd, the company is known for creating the puzzle game Collapsus for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

In 2009, Wraith Games was added to GamePro Magazine's GamePro Labs video game publishing arm[2] for their game Physix[3]. As of 2016, Physix has yet to be released, though as of 2015, Wraith Games has announced that the game is still in active development [4]

The company made its first full release, the Kongregate exclusive FlyGuy in December 2011. In April 2012, the company announced that FlyGuy would be released on iOS and Android OS[5] although, as of 2016, this release has yet to surface.

In 2015, their third game, Collapsus, was nominated for SlideDB (part of Indie DB)'s "App of the Year" awards making it into the Top 50 [6]. It was first shown to the public when Wraith Games attended at the Ohio Game Development Expo in 2015[7][8]. Collapsus was also showcased at Game Masters (exhibition) when it arrived at COSI Columbus in June 2016.

According to The AbleGamers Foundation, Collapsus has "some of the fundamental building blocks of accessibility" [9].
