Backflip Studios at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to find out who Backflip Studios is, here is what the data shows. This company operated from 2009 to 2015 and was based in Boulder, Colorado. They focused almost entirely on mobile platforms, releasing twelve games for iOS and nine for Android. Their reach into PC and Mac markets was minimal, with only one title each for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The studio also released a single game for web browsers. Their output grew significantly during the 2010s compared to the late 2000s. They released just two games in the 2000s before producing ten titles in the 2010s. This period included releases like NinJump Deluxe, NinJump Rooftops, Dragons and Titans, and DragonVale World. Their genre focus was broad but leaned heavily toward arcade games with four entries. They also worked on strategy, real-time strategy, simulator, puzzle, adventure, role-playing, indie, tactical, and racing titles, though they only made one game in each of those latter categories. The quality of their work varied across their catalog. The average IGDB rating for the two rated titles is 71 out of 100. Their highest-rated game was NinJump Deluxe from 2012, which scored a solid 90 out of 100. However, they also released Dragons and Titans in 2014, which received a mixed score of 52 out of 100. This creates a split profile where one title stands out as great while another falls into the average range. No titles from their catalog received poor ratings below 40. Backflip Studios shut down operations after 2015 and no longer releases new content. Their library remains static, offering twelve games total where they served as both developer and publisher for all entries. Players looking at their site will find a collection that spans casual arcade action to more complex strategy simulations, though the lack of recent activity means this catalog is complete but not evolving.
