Big Fish Games at a Glance

Big Fish Games operates out of Seattle and has been active since 2001. The company started as a PC-centric studio before shifting its focus toward mobile devices. Their catalog on PlayPile contains 659 titles, with the vast majority serving as publishers rather than developers. They have released 56 games during the 2000s, jumped to 488 in the 2010s, and slowed down to 80 releases in the current decade up to 2025. This data shows a massive expansion period followed by a significant reduction in output volume. The company specializes heavily in casual genres. Their library is dominated by Adventure titles with 491 entries, followed by Puzzle games at 274 and Point-and-click games at 193. Strategy, Indie, and Simulator titles make up the remainder of their catalog, while Arcade, Card & Board Game, Platform, and Real Time Strategy genres are represented by very few entries. They publish primarily for PC with 637 games, though they also support Mac, iOS, and Android platforms. Their reach extends to older mobile hardware like Nintendo DS and Windows Phone, as well as modern consoles like the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One in smaller numbers. Quality assessments from IGDB show an average rating of 69 out of 100 across 48 rated titles. The breakdown indicates that most games fall into the good range with 35 entries scoring between 60 and 79. There are only 7 great titles that score above 80, while 6 games receive mixed scores in the 40 to 59 range. No titles appear to have poor ratings below 40. Their highest-rated works include Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove from 2009 and Gummy Drop! from 2014, both scoring above 90. More recent releases like The Unseen Fears: Body Thief and A Haunting Novel: Burton Hotel continue to release in late 2025, showing they still maintain a steady stream of new content despite the lower overall output compared to the previous decade.
