iOS Game Development Services

We create games for iOS. Let’s briefly explore the services we offer to clients who wish to release games on this mobile platform.

  • Full-Cycle iOS Game Development

    We create iOS games from scratch: the full development cycle starts with receiving the concept from you, the client, and continues through to creating an MVP version, a full release, or the LiveOps stage (which essentially means ongoing support and development of new patches and updates). We help companies develop a monetization strategy and implement it in the game in a way that doesn’t disrupt gameplay and is even engaging for players. We also assist in ensuring the game meets requirements and is published on the App Store.

  • Game Porting

    Today, game porting is one of the most in-demand services. We help adapt games created for one platform to work seamlessly on another. Our team “translates” graphics, controls, and interfaces, ensuring flawless interaction with the new environment.

    Many of our clients turn to us to “refresh” their old games for modern platforms, as well as to port projects from PC to mobile devices and vice versa. This expands the market and attracts new players. We are always happy to help make your games accessible to a wider audience and engage new fans of captivating game worlds!

  • iOS Game Testing

    Metabula Games’ QA teams test clients’ iOS games to verify their performance, graphical interface, and adaptability to various Apple device screens. We test the game’s graphics, ergonomics, gameplay, and narrative clarity, conducting comprehensive functional tests throughout the gameplay to ensure animations and sound effects look and sound great. Additionally, we check how the game performs under critical conditions (e.g., low battery or poor network connection). We use both real Apple devices and emulators for this. We also conduct localization and compliance tests if your game has not yet been published on the App Store.

Types of iOS Games
You Can Order from Us

Let’s discuss the game genres we offer to clients interested in iOS game development. We provide a full cycle of game development—from concept and game design, programming, and testing to releasing the finished product on the App Store.

  1. "Match-3" for iOS

    Examples of such games: Royal Match, Fishdom, Castle Crush

    Match-3 games are casual puzzles in which players need to form chains of three or more identical elements on the game board. The main goal is to clear the board of elements by completing level objectives, such as achieving a certain number of points or collecting specific items.

    Games of this genre are known for their accessibility and engagement, offering various bonuses and power-ups to add complexity and variety to the gameplay. Popular representatives of the genre include games like Candy Crush Saga and Bejeweled.

  2. "Puzzles" for iOS

    Examples of such games: Royal Match, Homescapes, Candy Crush Soda

    The "puzzle" game genre includes games where the main focus is on solving puzzles and challenges. They come in various types, including:

Frequently Asked Questions

Why outsource iOS game development?

Outsourcing iOS game development is a popular option for many companies. It can save time and money while also providing access to a larger talent pool. It allows you to redirect your core team’s efforts to other projects—new ones or those requiring immediate attention. This is why many studios choose outsourcing after releasing their game in early access on the Play Store.

People also turn to outsourcing when they want to create games in collaboration with more experienced industry players, when they lack specific specialists and don’t have the resources to find them, or when they seek a fresh perspective on the game development they’re working on.

What are the stages of iOS game development?

The process of developing games for iOS (and beyond) consists of three main stages: pre-production, production, and post-production.

During the pre-production stage, planning takes place: the game’s concept, core mechanics, storyline, and visual style are defined. It’s also crucial to consider monetization strategies and review Apple’s guidelines and conditions regarding subscriptions and in-app purchases. This stage concludes with the creation of the visual style, game design, and other documents that detail all aspects of the game.

The production stage involves a multilayered development process: designers work to make the world and characters look realistic and compelling. Developers create an interactive world, bringing it to life for players. Quality assurance specialists identify errors and bugs, conduct tests, and perform rechecks. The game is then released.

The post-production stage covers everything that happens after release: implementing fixes and improvements based on player feedback, data analysis, LiveOps services, support, and maintenance.

Somewhere in the middle of the development process, marketing teams and artists begin crafting promotional campaigns to prepare for an early access launch or full release.

How long does it take to create an iOS game?

As we mentioned, iOS game developers typically have to worry less about varying screen sizes and operating system versions. Therefore, creating games for this platform takes slightly less time than for Android.

The time required to develop an iOS game depends on the size and complexity of the project. A simple game can be created in 2-3 months, while a more complex game may take over a year.
