About the studio

CRAFTING GAMES
THAT STICK

Decod Games is a mobile game studio focused on building engaging, high-retention gameplay experiences that players return to day after day.

Our focus is idle, incremental and hybrid-casual games that combine simplicity with depth — experiences that are easy to pick up and hard to put down.

With 15 titles live on Google Play across 5 genres, we keep experimenting, learning and scaling our game systems — and we're now bringing our best titles to the App Store.
