The Challenges You're Facing
Platform-Specific Requirements Are Complex
Each platform has unique technical requirements, control expectations, and performance standards. What works well on desktop may need significant adaptation for mobile touchscreens. Store submission processes involve compliance checklists, review procedures, and platform-specific guidelines that can be overwhelming if you haven't navigated them before.
Control Scheme Adaptation Concerns
Your game may be perfectly tuned for keyboard and mouse controls, but translating that to mobile touch or console controllers requires thoughtful redesign. You want the game to feel natural on the new platform without compromising the gameplay experience that made it work on the original platform. This balance can be difficult to achieve without experience across different input methods.
Performance Optimization Challenges
Games need to run smoothly on target hardware, which varies significantly across platforms. Mobile devices have power and thermal constraints, web browsers have different capabilities, and desktop configurations vary widely. Optimizing for each environment while maintaining visual quality requires platform-specific knowledge and testing across representative devices.
Time Investment and Opportunity Cost
Learning a new platform's requirements, adapting your codebase, testing across devices, and navigating submission processes takes significant time. You'd rather spend that time creating new games or improving existing ones, but the potential of reaching new audiences makes platform expansion appealing. The challenge is finding a way to accomplish this without derailing your other projects.
Our Approach to Game Porting
We handle platform adaptation systematically, focusing on maintaining gameplay fidelity while optimizing for each platform's strengths and addressing its constraints. The process respects your original vision while making necessary adjustments for the new environment.
Comprehensive Compatibility Assessment
We begin by analyzing your existing game to identify platform-specific challenges and opportunities. This assessment examines control schemes, performance characteristics, resolution requirements, and any features that may need adaptation. You receive a detailed report outlining the porting approach before development begins.
Thoughtful Control Adaptation
Controls are adapted to feel natural on the target platform. For mobile, this means touch-optimized interfaces with appropriate button sizing and gesture support. For desktop, we ensure proper keyboard, mouse, and optional controller support. The goal is making players feel the controls were designed specifically for their platform.
Platform-Specific Optimization
Performance optimization addresses each platform's characteristics. Mobile versions are optimized for battery efficiency and varied hardware capabilities. Web versions focus on quick loading and browser compatibility. Desktop versions can leverage more powerful hardware while maintaining broad compatibility. Testing occurs across representative devices.
Store Compliance Preparation
Each platform has submission requirements and review processes. We prepare your game for store submission by ensuring compliance with technical requirements, preparing necessary assets and descriptions, and addressing common approval issues proactively. You receive guidance on the submission process and what to expect during review.
How We'll Work Together
The porting process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to ensure the adapted version maintains what makes your game special while working well on the new platform.
Initial Assessment and Planning
We examine your existing game, including source code, assets, and technical architecture. This assessment identifies potential challenges and determines the porting approach. You'll receive a detailed plan outlining what will be adapted, what remains unchanged, and estimated timeline. This planning phase takes about one week.
Technical Migration and Core Adaptation
We migrate your game to the target platform's technical environment, adapting core systems as needed. This includes setting up the build pipeline, adapting rendering systems if necessary, and ensuring basic functionality works on the new platform. You receive early builds to verify the core game is intact before we proceed with detailed adaptations.
Control and Interface Adaptation
Controls and interface elements are redesigned for the target platform. You'll test these adaptations and provide feedback on how they feel. We iterate on control schemes and UI layouts until the game feels natural on the new platform. This collaborative refinement ensures the port maintains your game's quality standards.
Performance Optimization and Testing
With functionality established, we optimize performance for the target platform. Testing occurs across representative devices to ensure smooth operation. We address any platform-specific issues that emerge and verify the game meets performance expectations. You receive test builds throughout this process.
Final Polish and Submission Preparation
The final phase involves polish, preparing store assets, ensuring compliance with platform guidelines, and creating submission materials. We provide guidance on the submission process and what to expect during review. You receive the finalized build along with documentation on maintaining the port after launch.

How We Approach Results
Platform Expertise
We've ported games between web, mobile (iOS and Android), and desktop platforms since 2016. This experience has taught us common adaptation challenges, platform-specific requirements, and effective approaches for maintaining gameplay quality across different environments.
Our process applies lessons learned from previous ports, helping us anticipate issues and implement solutions efficiently. This accumulated knowledge benefits every porting project.
Development Timeline
Most porting projects take 4-6 weeks depending on game complexity and required adaptations. Simpler games with straightforward mechanics may complete faster, while games with complex controls or platform-specific features may require additional time.
We provide timeline estimates after the initial assessment, once we understand your game's specific requirements. Clear communication throughout keeps you informed of progress.
Quality Verification
Testing occurs across representative devices for the target platform. For mobile, this includes different screen sizes, operating system versions, and hardware capabilities. For web, we test across major browsers. For desktop, we verify compatibility with common configurations.
You receive builds throughout development for your own testing, ensuring the port meets your standards before finalization.
Realistic Expectations
Porting provides access to new platforms and audiences. We can create technically sound ports that work well on target platforms. What we can't control is how those new audiences discover and respond to your game, which depends on marketing, platform algorithms, timing, and numerous other factors.
Our focus is delivering quality technical work that gives your game the foundation to succeed on its new platform.
Our Commitment to You
We treat each porting project with care, respecting the work you've already invested in your game. Our goal is creating a port that you're proud to release on the new platform, one that maintains your game's quality and feels appropriate for its new home.
