Our Mobile Game Development Services for iOS

We offer complete mobile game development for iOS in London, managing each stage from concept creation to App Store publishing. Our approach is built on technical expertise, creative understanding, and deep awareness of the London gaming market.

Game Concept & Design

A well-designed game begins with a clear concept and structured design framework. Our designers in London create detailed game design documents outlining objectives, progression systems, control mechanics, and player rewards.

We consider the habits of iOS players — short session times, gesture-based inputs, and performance expectations — to ensure gameplay feels natural and responsive. Each design undergoes prototype testing to evaluate pacing, responsiveness, and overall engagement before full-scale production begins.

iOS Development & Programming

Our developers specialise in Swift, Objective-C, and Unity to deliver performance-optimised iOS games. We build systems that work smoothly on the full range of Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads, and newer chipsets such as the A17 and M-series processors.

We also ensure compatibility across iOS versions, focusing on low memory consumption, stable frame rates, and efficient battery usage. Our engineers use Xcode and Apple SDKs to integrate device-specific features such as haptic feedback, Game Center integration, and push notifications.

Each game is developed with scalability in mind — ready for content updates, new levels, or seasonal events.

2D & 3D Art Production

Visual design defines how players perceive and connect with your game. Our London-based artists produce both 2D and 3D assets, ensuring every texture, character, and background aligns with your artistic direction.

We focus on creating art that performs efficiently without compromising quality. Our artists use Blender, Maya, Photoshop, and Substance Painter to produce optimised visual content suitable for Apple’s Retina displays.

We also handle user interface design, ensuring touch gestures, icons, and menus are clear and intuitive.

Sound Design & Music Composition

Sound plays a vital role in the mobile experience. We create soundtracks and effects that fit the rhythm and theme of your game. From ambient soundscapes to responsive effects, our audio engineers in London deliver production-quality sound that enriches gameplay.

We compose original scores or adapt licensed tracks, ensuring proper mixing and audio balancing for both headphones and built-in speakers. Sound integration is handled through middleware such as FMOD, ensuring responsive playback across devices.

Quality Assurance & Testing

Testing ensures that your iOS game performs reliably across all Apple devices. Our QA specialists in London conduct extensive device testing covering gameplay stability, input accuracy, and UI consistency.

We use real hardware, not emulators, to evaluate your game under real-world conditions. Automated and manual testing cycles identify bugs, frame drops, and performance issues before release.

Our QA process includes Apple compliance checks to ensure your game passes App Store guidelines without complications.

App Store Submission & Compliance

App Store Submission & Compliance

Publishing a game on Apple’s App Store requires precision. Our London team manages the submission process, including compliance checks, metadata creation, and icon optimisation.

We prepare the App Store listing with engaging descriptions, high-quality screenshots, and optimised keywords for visibility. Our developers ensure all builds meet Apple’s technical requirements, including app size limits, privacy policy compliance, and in-app purchase integrations.

We guide you through certification, testing, and version submission, reducing time-to-launch and ensuring a smooth approval process.

Post-Launch Maintenance & Updates

Once your iOS game is live, regular updates and maintenance are essential to keep players engaged. We manage post-launch operations from patch deployment to new content releases.

Our analytics systems track user behaviour, retention, and in-app activity. Based on this data, we implement improvements to balance gameplay, refine monetisation, and increase player satisfaction.

We also handle compatibility updates for new iOS releases and hardware iterations, ensuring your game remains stable and current.

Monetisation & In-App Purchases

Our monetisation strategies are designed for sustainability and player retention. We integrate models including in-app purchases, rewarded ads, and subscription systems that align with your game’s mechanics and audience expectations.

We handle integration of Apple’s StoreKit framework for secure transactions and seamless user experience. Our team ensures that revenue systems remain balanced and ethical, enhancing long-term playability without disrupting immersion.
