ABOUT US

We are a premier Independent Game Development Studio based out of India focused in developing unique and original games across various platforms

WHAT WE DO

OUR CULTURE

At Hammerplay, we place culture above the actual work we do. It is the core of our functioning as an independent studio; it is what we often preach, practice and iterate across. It enables us to have that much needed creative liberty and space; work with each other without any formal barriers and bond like school kids. We are also a radically different studio with a greater emphasis on flat team structure eliminating the need for leads and supervision offering a new level of control. And hey, after all where else you get to be wearing T-shirts and Flip flops to work!

Our Games are now available on Time Pass!

May 2023 - Our Instant games on Time Pass

We have partnered with Simple Viral Games and have begun onboarding our games on to their Time Pass App. Users can now start to enjoy our hit games like Carrom Play, Rampage Road, Ultimate Pinball, Ludo, Snakes and Ladders. We plan to bring many more games to the Time Pass platform and hope to reach and entertain their growing user base. Perfect way to pass some time!

Stepping into the 9th Year!

Sep 2022- 8 years of forging fun!

We complete 8 years today and enter the 9th year. The journey has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. To be that independent studio with zero external funding makes us even prouder but we continue to move mountains keeping our heads down. In recent times we turned the heat on our IP development and started to focus more on instant games and social multiplayer games. We are building some incredible stuff at the moment and continue to raise the bar with our games and Technology. We have always been punching above out weight as a studio and continue to land more punches. These have been the qualities that really sets us apart and something our partners come to love. We are here because of our Hammerplay family members who gave us all the undue support and our business partners who continue to believe in us. To above and beyond!

We are live on Glance!

Sep 2022- Glance our games on Glance

We are now live on Glance, the Lock Screen platform that has redefined the way entertainment is consumed on the lock screen, removing the need for searching and downloading apps.

May 2021- Carrom Play released for Jio Phone

Carrom as a board game has been widely received by the Indian audience and continues to stay popular among the masses. While we are focusing in bringing a refined Carrom game experience for the smart phones, we didn’t want to turn down the opportunity to bring the same experience onto the Jio Phones. We have always seen that Jio users have longed for a good Carrom game experience and the countless videos on youtube where they attempt to play the android Carrom game on Jio Phone is a testament to that. We now bring an uncompromising and a faithful port of our original game to the smart feature phone. Carrom Play is now available on Jio Phone. Jio users can now enjoy a fun game of Carrom on their Jio Phone with a smooth gameplay experience. Position your striker, aim for the coins and pocket them with precision in this original Carrom board experience made exclusively for the Jio Phone. Unlock new boards, powerful strikers and have endless fun with Carrom Play!

Battle Legends!

Jan, 2021 - Announcing our latest title “Battle Legends”

Lets just call it our most ambitious title to date. One of those passionate games that we worked during the entirety of the lock down and something we are very proud of. Its a game built with solid Multiplayer networking tech, fully server authoritative with client side prediction (sorry Hackers!), lag compensation and a whole tech blog worthy of stuff that we sure would write about down the line. Best part is that the game is extremely light and packaged in a very simplistic form. No large downloads or complexities of a typical Battle Royale or multiplayer game. Load the game in a jiffy and have a blast. The idea was to build a fun shooter for the masses that any one and everyone can pick up, play for a few minutes and have real fun! This isn’t to say that the game doesn’t offer variety or depth. The game features a host of cool characters, skins and customisation options that players typically expect in these genres. We always had this idea of building a shooter with a very strong Indian influence culturally and thematically and this game was the perfect opportunity to do that in a very fun and light manner. You can pick and choose from various Avatars who carry a lot of personality and allow for equipping some cool skins. We wanted the emotes to be a lot more special where the players can exchange ‘Punch Dialogues’ (famous one liners) that Indian audience generally love from daily walks of life. We continue to iterate and polish the game and are gearing up for a soft launch very soon! Head to the Games page to check the gameplay trailer out. More to follow…

Carrom Play

As traditional platforms get to saturate, there is a greater need for new platforms and ways to engage the audience - something that we have been consciously pursuing in our IP endeavors.

Heli Dash

Ever thought a game like Flappy Bird was super hard and wished it went a bit easy on you? Well, here you go with Heli Dash, a charming twist on the ‘tap to fly mechanic’ with gorgeous visuals and addictive gameplay. If tapping wasn’t enough, it has Dashing too that allows you to break through Obstacles and zip through tight spaces. The game teases your gamer ego so much that you cannot get enough of it! Its out now on India’s biggest gaming app!

Our new game Sniper is out now on Android.

We are looking to write a Dev dairy on this game very soon. Stay tuned!

Building for E-sports and the future!

We are officially on Android now and the best part is we have been developing E-sports titles for the next generation of gamers. Dont look us up on Google Play - you wont find us there just yet. We are instead looking at new and emerging platforms.

Some recent games in the cooks!

We have been working on a bunch of games/ideas and as always punching well above our weight. Here is a sneak peek on a few games that we are hoping to finish and publish soon!

Quick Racing 3D - Our take on classic old school racing meeting an Indian setting. We simply love Arcade racing and you would already see a 2.5D version in our HTML5 games roster. With the 3D version we are looking to build a super simple and accessible game that anyone can play and it really wears off the complexities of modern day racing games. Simple press left and right to pick up the fuel cans/powers ups and let the game handle the rest. No complex meanderings and correcting course all the time. If you crash onto the sides, no problem, the car spins back in action! This is one of those titles we are looking to finish and prepare for a soft launch soon on Android and Jio Set Top Box.

Tuk Tuk Go- All new edition - A refreshing take on our hit Jio game with all new stylized graphics and gameplay. The game is currently under the Beta program on the Jio Set Top Box and we are looking to go live very soon!

Bomber Royale - A fun multiplayer Battle Royale game where up-to 16 players can battle it out in an ever shrinking (rather falling off) level. This footage is from one of our internal test runs and boy it was fun! More to be unveiled soon!
