HandyGames is an independent developer and publisher of mobile games headquartered in Giebelstadt, Germany. The company develops downloadable and pre-installed games and applications for mobile phones.

Company

The company was founded in 2000 by brothers Christopher and Markus Kassulke along with Udo Bausewein. In 2006, HandyGames released its first free, ad-funded game and began the gradual transition to a largely ad-funded business model. Since 2010, all new HandyGames titles are either free or freemium. HandyGames started to expand to other platforms in early 2012 and have since released games for the PC and the Ouya console. By 2014 HandyGames had 150,000 app downloads per month and more than 100 million downloads in total.

In January 2014 and 2015, the company were main sponsors for the "HandyGames Charity Day" in Würzburg, which aimed to raise funds for cancer research. On both occasions the event was able to raise roughly 50000 Euros.

HandyGames was one of the first companies to launch games for wearable technology in 2014. They experimented with games on Android Wear devices, including the Moto 360 by Motorola, the Sony SmartWatch, and the LG G Watch because they felt that it had more potential to be a mass market than VR (Virtual Reality). They later started developing VR Games in 2015 and released titles like "Hidden Temple - VR Adventure". They can be played in a 360° mode or in another dimension using one of the supported head-mounted displays like Google Cardboard or Samsung Gear VR.
