Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to develop a mobile game?
It really depends on the complexity of the project. A simple game can take a few months, while something more advanced – with multiplayer, custom art, or deep mechanics – might take 6-12 months. We’ll give you a clear timeline once we know what we’re building together.
What kind of game ideas work best on mobile?
Casual, hyper-casual, strategy, puzzle, idle, midcore – mobile is super flexible. Key is making it accessible, rewarding and easy to pick up. We’ll help you refine your idea to hit sweet spot for your audience.
Do you develop for both iOS and Android?
Yes! At Whimsy Games, we specialize in cross-platform mobile game development, creating games that run smoothly on both iOS and Android. Our experienced team can bring your game idea to life from concept to fully functional app.
How much does mobile game development cost?
Costs vary based on scope, features, and visual style. We offer tailored quotes depending on your idea, and we’re always transparent about what’s included. Let’s chat and we’ll break it down for you.
Can you help with game monetization?
Yes! We design smart monetization flows – from in-app purchases and ads to hybrid models. We make sure monetization fits your game, not the other way around.
Can you port my PC or console game to mobile?
We specialize in adapting games for mobile – including UI/UX redesign, controls, optimization, and performance tuning.
What game engines do you use for mobile development?
Unity is our go-to for most mobile projects, but we also work with Unreal Engine when higher fidelity or specific features are needed. It depends on your game’s goals.
Can I update the game after it's launched?
Of course. Whether it’s real-time multiplayer, leaderboards, friend invites, or social sharing – we’ve got it covered.
Do you assist with publishing on the App Store and Google Play?
Yes, we do. From app store optimization to handling submissions and compliance, we’ll guide you through the process or manage it for you.
