#Why choose us
Why choose Whimsy Gamesto develop your iOS game
Three checks before anyone talks budget: who is on the build, what we have already submitted to the App Store, and which engine the game runs on. Each answer names what it is based on.
02
First concept to App Store submission
ZiggyVerse and Meegos Mayhem went through the full run — builds, store assets and review fixes — with the same team on the file from day one.

#How we work
What happens, in what order, for how long
Every stage ends with something in your hands, and with a date you can hold us to.
“Changes during the plan cost days.
Changes after coding starts cost weeks.”

Total to App Store submission: 23 weeks from kickoff — a mid-complexity iOS build. The parent mobile hub quotes 4–6 months for this band.

#Features
Features we buildinto an iOS title
Four areas that decide how an iOS build feels in the hand, not just what it contains.
01
Game Development for iOS
Close collaboration between designers and developers produces one-of-a-kind software and design solutions for Unity iOS builds. Because the team knows the current toolchain, we select the iOS framework that suits the project.
02
Game Interface
UI designs tuned to every device in the Apple product line, with each aesthetic detail treated so the interface layout holds together.
03
Hi-tech Trends
Highly engaging 2D and 3D games for Apple users, built by developers who track what the platform rewards.
04
Plug-in Development
Native code in XCode plus a wider set of Unity iPhone features — fast access to the platform it runs on.
#Tech
Engines & toolingwe ship on
We pick the stack to fit the title, not the other way around. Most shipped work runs on Unity and Unreal, with custom backends and live-ops tooling layered on top.
AI assistants for generating concepts, textures, character variations, and LODs. We use them as accelerators for senior artists, not as replacements.
iOS, Android, or both?
Same idea, three budgets. We'll tell you which platform to start on, and which one can wait.
#Ways to work
Two starting pointsone team
Same team and the same guarantees — different first questions, different proof, different price band.

#Testimonials
What our clients think about us
Direct quotes from the founders and directors who signed the work, published where you can check them.
Whimsy was the first outsourcing partner that actually felt like an extension of our internal team. Daily standups, transparent burndowns, and art that didn't need three revision passes.
They took over live ops without a single dropped event. Retention grew a quarter in a row — and our internal team finally slept.
Asset specs written by people who integrate them. Fewer rework loops than any vendor we tried in eight years.
