tinyBuild at a Glance

tinyBuild operates out of the Seattle area but maintains a global footprint with studios in the Netherlands, Latvia, and other parts of Eastern Europe. Founded in 2011, the company began as a developer before shifting its focus to become a publisher that supports independent creators. They have now released 103 games while developing only four titles themselves. Their catalog spans multiple platforms with PC being the dominant platform for 97 releases, followed by Xbox One at 47 and Nintendo Switch at 45. Mobile presence is much smaller with 18 iOS titles and 12 Android games. The publisher shows a clear preference for Indie and Adventure genres, which account for 93 and 64 of their catalog respectively. Simulator, Role-playing, and Strategy games also appear frequently in their lineup. Their output has grown over time with 41 games released during the 2010s compared to 58 titles in the 2020s. The company went public on the London Stock Exchange as TBLD in March 2021 and continues to release new content through 2026, with upcoming titles like The Lift and SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed scheduled for late 2026. Quality varies significantly across their portfolio. Out of 57 rated titles, the average score sits at 66.8 out of 100. While they have four games rated above 80, such as Rhythm Sprout and Not for Broadcast, the majority of their work falls into the good range with 40 titles scoring between 60 and 79. There are also 12 mixed-rated games and one poor title below a score of 40. Their top-rated releases include Tinykin and Black Skylands alongside some older entries like Lovely Planet 2: April Skies. While they have successfully partnered with developers on franchises like Hello Neighbor and Graveyard Keeper, the wide spread in ratings suggests that not every project meets high standards. They continue to look for unconventional opportunities outside their traditional PC and console focus while maintaining a steady stream of new releases.
