Their reach across hardware platforms is broad. They released 11 games for the Nintendo DS and 10 for PC, while also targeting the Nintendo Switch seven times and PlayStation 4 six times. Other systems like the Game Boy Advance, Wii, and various PlayStation handhelds also see their work. Quality varies significantly within their portfolio. The average rating across three scored titles sits at 63.3 out of 100.

There are no titles rated as poor in this sample. The most recent entry, Ooops! 2, released in August 2021, stands out as their highest-rated work with an 80 score.

Recent years have seen them publish titles like Rail World and Bayala: The Game alongside equestrian simulations such as My Riding Stables 2. While they have maintained activity for nearly two decades, their output has decreased recently compared to their peak in the 2010s.
