Find the Right Development Path
Whether you need physics puzzles, word games, or cross-platform solutions, we have an approach that fits your project
Back to HomeThree Approaches to Game Development
Different game types require different expertise. We've developed specialized approaches for physics-based puzzles, word and trivia games, and cross-platform distribution. Each option represents years of experience working with these specific game mechanics and technical requirements.
Choose the option that matches your project goals, or contact us to discuss combining approaches for more complex requirements.
Physics Puzzle Games
Create games where gravity, momentum, and realistic interactions drive engaging challenges. From tower building to projectile puzzles, we tune physics parameters until interactions feel satisfying and natural.
Typical timeline: 10-14 weeks
Word & Trivia Games
Build engaging games around language and knowledge with polished presentations and smooth mechanics. We handle dictionary integration, hint systems, difficulty scaling, and content generation.
Typical timeline: 8-12 weeks
Cross-Platform Development
Reach players wherever they are with games built for web, iOS, Android, and desktop. We use shared codebases with platform-specific optimizations to enable simultaneous or staggered releases.
Typical timeline: 12-16 weeks
Choosing the Right Option
| Feature | Physics Puzzles | Word Games | Cross-Platform |

| Complexity | Medium-High | Medium | High |
| Update Frequency | Moderate | High (content) | Moderate |
Not Sure Which Option Fits?
Many projects combine elements from different options. Physics puzzles might need cross-platform distribution. Word games might benefit from custom mechanics. We can discuss hybrid approaches that address your specific requirements.
Schedule a ConsultationCommon Questions
Can I combine multiple options in one project?
Yes, many clients do this. For example, a physics puzzle game might also need cross-platform distribution. We can structure projects to include elements from different options based on your requirements. This typically adjusts both timeline and investment based on the combined scope.
What's included in the starting price?
Starting prices cover core development for the specified game type: mechanics implementation, basic content, testing, and documentation. They assume well-defined scope and standard features. Additional complexity like custom art, extensive content libraries, or advanced features may adjust the investment. We provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific requirements.
How do timelines work?
Timelines represent typical durations for standard-scope projects. Actual duration depends on factors like feature complexity, content volume, feedback cycle timing, and platform requirements. We provide specific timeline estimates after the planning phase when project scope is clear. Most clients see first playable builds within 2-3 weeks regardless of option.
What happens after development is complete?
You receive complete source code, documentation, and build configurations. Many clients handle their own updates after launch. We also offer post-launch support options ranging from occasional consultation to ongoing development partnerships. The level of involvement is your choice based on your needs and comfort with the codebase.
Do you work with existing projects or only new ones?
We work with both. For existing projects, we first assess the current codebase and understand what needs to be done. This might involve completing features, fixing issues, adding platforms, or implementing expansions. Pricing and timelines for existing projects depend on the current state and required work.
