Mobile Game Development Services In Michigan
If you’re based in Michigan and you’re thinking of building a mobile game—or you’ve already started and it’s been dragging on—you’re in the right place.
Pearl Lemon Games works with clients who are done wasting time and money with teams that either overcomplicate the process or deliver apps that gather dust in app stores. We don’t waste breath on fluff. If you’re after downloads, retention and monetisation, we build the game to get you there.
We’re not based in some mystery overseas office. We’re a UK-led team with real devs, UI/UX designers, monetisation strategists and QA engineers who understand how to turn ideas into games that perform. And yes, we work hands-on with clients across Michigan who are serious about getting their mobile game in front of users who spend.
Our Services
Each of our services below is designed to solve a specific technical or commercial challenge you’re likely facing if you’re serious about launching a mobile game in Michigan that works and scales. These are not menu items—they are problems we solve daily.
Game Design Architecture
Before a single line of code is written, your game needs a rock-solid architecture. We map out your core loop, progression mechanics, monetisation strategy and UX flow using a systems-first approach. Our team employs statecharts, event diagrams and logic trees to eliminate scope creep and ensure scalability from the start.
This stops the age-old problem of “Oh, now we need to rebuild half the game just to add multiplayer.” We plan that from day one.
iOS and Android Native Development
We write code that runs clean on both iOS and Android without duct tape. Using Kotlin, Swift, and native SDKs, we ensure high frame rates, responsive touch mechanics and battery-efficient performance—essential for Michigan’s tech-savvy gaming crowd, where a one-star review can kill traction overnight.
Don’t fall into the hybrid framework trap unless you want compromise baked into every update. We go native unless there’s a valid reason not to.
Cross-Platform Development With Unity
Unity remains the workhorse of mobile gaming for a reason. It’s powerful, widely supported and ideal for 2D and 3D titles. We deploy Unity for clients who need high-performance games on both platforms, with built-in analytics, monetisation APIs and cross-device sync.
Our builds pass Unity Profiler checks, GC spike audits and texture memory optimisation. We’ve dealt with projects where memory leaks cost clients thousands in post-launch patching. Not here.
Multiplayer And Backend Architecture
Most teams build the front and worry about the backend when things fall apart. Not us. We handle Firebase, PlayFab, Node.js and Photon implementation so you can go multiplayer without downtime or instability.
Whether you’re running peer-to-peer for casual play or a dedicated authoritative server for competitive matchmaking, we’ll keep latency under 150ms on 4G/5G in Michigan’s major hubs (Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbour).
Monetisation Strategy And Integration
You want revenue? Then monetisation can’t be bolted on. We design it into the player loop. From rewarded video ad placements (AdMob, Unity Ads, ironSource) to in-app purchase triggers that are context-aware, we know what works—and we’ve tested it on actual paying users.
One client in the US Midwest went from 0.4% ARPU to 2.8% in 60 days with a monetisation revamp. We bring the same playbook to your build.
Game QA And Testing
We build automation test suites using Appium and XCTest for stress testing and regression checks. We also deploy real-world device labs to test on budget phones as well as flagship models, covering over 92% of the Michigan market’s mobile hardware spectrum.
This isn’t the kind of QA where your tester just taps a few buttons and says, Looks fine.”
Game Publishing Support
Getting a game into the App Store and Play Store isn’t as simple as “just upload it.” We handle store compliance (Apple’s rules are particularly brutal), implement ASO with keyword targeting (yes, including local Michigan-related search intent), and prep screenshots, gameplay previews and listing copy.
Most apps get delayed in review. Ours don’t. Because we build for compliance from the start.
Post-Launch Support And Iteration
Your game isn’t finished at launch. We track retention (D1/D7/D30), crash reports, and LTV with tools like GameAnalytics, Adjust and Firebase. We run update cycles based on player data, not guesswork.
Games without updates lose 80% of their users within 30 days. We make sure you’re not part of that statistic.
Why Choose Us
We don’t talk theory. We talk about delivery. While others are busy repackaging generic builds and padding timelines, we work with you like your game’s ROI depends on it—because it does.
And if you’re in Michigan, it helps to know you’re working with a UK-based team that’s punctual, obsessive about QA, and capable of solving issues without another round of vague emails and delays.
