Space Ape Games
Award-winning mobile/social gaming start-up Space Ape Games is a small, high-performing team of passionate gamers with deep levels of experience, each driven by the desire to make amazing multiplayer games. The Space Ape team created strategy game Samurai Siege, a US top 50 grossing app – top 10 in some countries. This was played by over 7 million people in the first few months after its launch. “Today Samurai Siege makes around $45,000 a day across all platforms. Our best result was actually $220,000 in a day,” says John Earner, CEO and Co-Founder of Space Ape Games. “We’re delighted with the app’s performance on Android. We’ve steadily increased our marketing spend on Android, and this is helping to grow our retention numbers with the platform.” Above all, though, for John and his team it’s all about “making games at the intersection of what you love and what the market wants,” he says. “There is a huge audience that wants high quality gaming experiences, but has limited time to play. That means players need to be able to engage meaningfully with a game even if they only have a few minutes to spare. We plan to keep making accessible games for that audience.”
