Unity & Mobile Game Development in Sydney
Sydney is a city of big retail precincts, busy hospitality strips and marketing teams competing for the same attention.
Paid social and display ads are crowded and expensive, and audiences have learned to ignore them. A well-designed branded game earns attention instead of interrupting it, and gives people a reason to come back, share a score or redeem a reward in store.
The other strong source of demand is the startup and technology scene stretching from Surry Hills to North Sydney and Chatswood. Founders with a mobile game concept, or a product that needs gamified onboarding, want a team that can move quickly, prototype the core loop and give them something playable to show investors and early users. Speed matters, but so does discipline about what to build first and what to leave until later.
We work with Sydney clients entirely remotely, which suits the way most teams here already operate. Discovery happens over video, progress is tracked in shared project boards, and you install fresh builds straight onto your phone through TestFlight or Google Play testing. You see and play real progress every sprint, rather than waiting for a reveal at the end of the project, and decisions are made with the game in your hands.

The Challenge
Sydney clients usually come to us after running into one of these problems with a previous campaign or concept.
Retail launches, seasonal promotions and hospitality events in Sydney run on fixed dates. Branded games built without a tight scope and early prototype often slip, leaving marketing teams with a half-finished experience and paid media already booked.
A fun game that never drives a store visit, sign-up or purchase is hard to justify. Many Sydney brand games lack a clear link between play and reward, so there is no way to prove the campaign worked.
Founders often commission full art, dozens of levels and multiplayer before testing whether players enjoy the core mechanic. That burns runway quickly, when a focused prototype tested with real players would have answered the key questions first.
Sydney players use everything from the latest flagship phones to older budget Android handsets. Games tested only on a developer’s own device frequently stutter, crash or drain batteries, which quickly leads to poor reviews and uninstalls.
Our Approach
Our Melbourne-based team works with Sydney clients remotely, using a structured process that keeps you hands-on with the game throughout.
For branded games, we define the outcome first, such as sign-ups, redemptions or social shares, then design the reward loop to support it. For startups, we identify the riskiest assumption and prototype that before anything else.
We work backwards from your campaign or launch date, splitting the project into milestones with a must-have core and optional extras. If timelines tighten, you always know exactly what can be delivered and what can wait.
You receive regular builds through TestFlight and Google Play testing, plus a short video call on Sydney time to review them together. Feedback goes straight into the next sprint, so the game evolves with your input.
We handle store submission or web deployment, connect analytics and campaign tracking, then report on plays, completions and conversions. After launch, we can add new levels, events and rewards to keep players returning and lift results over the life of the campaign.
What We Offer
Whether you’re an indie studio with a concept, an educator with learning goals or a brand looking to engage customers in a fresh way, we shape each project around your audience, platform and budget. Design, art and development are all handled by our local team.
Full-cycle Unity development for iOS and Android, covering casual, hyper-casual, puzzle, arcade and mid-core genres.
We prototype the core loop early so you can feel the gameplay before committing to full production, then build out levels, progression, menus and polish. The result is a smooth, responsive game optimised for a wide range of phones and tablets.
Games are a powerful way to teach, train and inform.
We work with schools, training providers, healthcare organisations and businesses to turn learning outcomes into engaging gameplay, from early-learning apps to workplace simulations. Progress tracking, accessibility and age-appropriate design are considered from the start, so the game is effective as well as fun.
Give customers a reason to spend time with your brand.
We create branded mini-games, promotional competitions, event activations and loyalty experiences that run on mobile or the web. Each one is designed around a clear marketing goal, such as capturing leads or driving store visits, and can be paired with our Social Media Marketing team for launch.
We build augmented reality games with Unity AR Foundation that place characters and objects into the real world through a phone camera, ideal for location-based play and interactive marketing.
For social experiences, we develop real-time and turn-based multiplayer features, leaderboards, friends lists and matchmaking using proven networking and backend services.
Strong visuals set a game apart in crowded app stores.
Our artists create 2D sprites, illustrations, 3D models, environments, user interfaces and character animations in a style that suits your audience, whether that’s bright and playful or sleek and stylised. We also produce app store icons, screenshots and promotional assets to support your launch.
Already have a game?
We port titles between platforms and engines, optimise performance for lower-end devices and update older Unity projects to current versions. After launch, our live ops support keeps players engaged with new levels, seasonal events, balance tweaks and content updates, guided by analytics rather than guesswork.

How We Work
No jargon, no surprises. Here’s exactly how we take you from first call to measurable growth.
We start with a free discovery call to understand your idea, audience and goals, then run a workshop to define the genre, core mechanic and scope.
We build a rough playable prototype of the core loop and refine it with you until the gameplay feels right, before committing to full production.
We plan levels, progression and monetisation, and create the art style, characters, environments and UI that bring your game’s world to life.
Our Unity developers build out the full game in milestones, sharing playable builds regularly and integrating analytics, ads and in-app purchases.
We playtest, fix bugs and optimise performance across devices, then prepare store assets and manage App Store and Google Play submission.
After launch we monitor player data and support you with updates, new content, events and balance changes to keep players engaged.
FAQ
Yes. Our team is based in Melbourne and works with Sydney clients remotely. We run discovery and reviews over video calls on Sydney business hours, share progress through project boards, and send you playable builds through TestFlight and Google Play testing so you can try the game on your own phone. Most clients find this faster than waiting for in-person meetings.
Short, replayable mini-games tend to work best, such as spin-to-win mechanics, quick arcade challenges, scavenger hunts and AR experiences triggered by a QR code in store. The key is linking play to a reward your customers value, like a discount, free item or entry into a promotion, so the game drives a measurable action rather than just attention. We also make sure the game loads quickly on mobile data.
Start with a prototype. We take your concept, identify the core mechanic and build a simple playable version, often in a few weeks. You can test it with players and show it to investors before committing to full art and content. If the idea needs adjusting, it is far cheaper to discover that at prototype stage than after launch, when changes cost more and players have already formed an opinion.
We quote each game as a project, because scope varies enormously between a campaign mini-game and a full mobile title. It starts with a free discovery call, then we provide a clear quote with milestones and deliverables. Sydney clients are priced the same as everyone else. On final payment, the source code, art assets and IP transfer to you, so you are free to update or extend the game later.
Yes. Unity can export to WebGL, so a branded game can run in a mobile browser without an app download, which is ideal for short campaigns and QR code activations. For longer-term titles, native iOS and Android apps usually offer better performance and monetisation options. We will recommend the right platform mix during discovery based on your goals, audience and budget.
