Supersolid is an award-winning independent mobile game developer studio based in central London, specializing in free-to-play "forever games" that are easy to pick up, hard to put down, and impossible to forget.[1][2][4] The company builds engaging titles across genres like infinite runners, simulations, competitive multiplayer, and Roblox experiences, serving a global audience of mobile and tablet players seeking joyful, creative gameplay.[1][2][4] It solves the challenge of creating high-retention, genre-leading games with refined design, high production values, and inclusive mechanics that sustain player delight over years, while fostering a collaborative studio culture focused on growth and innovation.[1] Backed by investors like Index Ventures and Initial Capital, Supersolid demonstrates strong growth momentum through hit titles like SuperPenguins, Food Street, Home Street, Snake Rivals, RoPets, and Cook & Merge.[1][4]
Supersolid was founded in 2012 when Michelle, Tommy, and Ken gathered around a kitchen table in London to develop SuperPenguins, an infinite runner game featuring a penguin that became a hit in South Korea.[1] This early success launched their mission to craft beautiful, engaging mobile free-to-play games, evolving from runners to simulation titles like Food Street and Home Street, then into competitive multiplayer with Snake Rivals and Roblox integration via RoPets.[1] The studio has grown into a leading mobile games team in central London, emphasizing a lighthearted, growth-oriented culture that empowers initiative, continuous improvement, and sustainable creativity.[1][2]
(Note: A separate entity at supersolid.agency appears to be a creative agency focused on "Super x Solid outcomes" and ROIdeas® for brands, but the primary supersolid.com matches the game developer profile.[3][5])
Supersolid rides the wave of mobile free-to-play gaming, a massive market driven by smartphone proliferation, in-app purchases, and cross-platform play like Roblox integration.[1][2][4] Timing aligns with rising demand for "forever games" amid shorter attention spans, where high-retention simulations and multiplayer titles capitalize on social features and live ops for sustained revenue. Market forces favoring them include London's thriving game dev scene, investor interest in gaming IP, and AI tools enhancing UI/UX—evident in their job postings.[4] They influence the ecosystem by prioritizing player joy and creativity, contributing to genre innovation and attracting talent to elevate mobile gaming standards.[1]
Supersolid is poised to expand its portfolio with more genre-leading hits like Cook & Merge, leveraging AI-driven design and multiplayer trends to boost retention and monetization.[1][4] Emerging shapes like Web3 integrations, AR/VR mobile experiences, and global esports could amplify their reach, while their investor backing supports scaling beyond London. Their influence may evolve from indie hit-maker to ecosystem shaper, defining joyful, sustainable mobile gaming—proving that simple ideas around a kitchen table can build unforgettable worlds.[1][4]
