Mobile games publisher Kwalee has smashed through the half billion downloads mark across its portfolio of hyper-casual games on Android and iOS.

The milestone cements a strong year for the Leamington Spa based company which has grown to more than 100 employees.

Kwalee’s latest releases Let’s Be Cops 3D and Teacher Simulator are recent hits, featuring in the top 5 most downloaded games in the US since launching in October and November respectively.

For Kwalee it’s further vindication of the companies move to hyper-casual publishing, with new offices opening in India and China.

CEO David Darling commeted,“Kwalee was founded with a belief in the power of digital distribution and great digital marketing to propel games to a massive global audience. That’s not something that can be accomplished overnight, but achieving half a billion downloads by sticking to these principles is a very proud moment for all of us. Our approach to launching hit games is always being refined, we’re getting better all the time and we’re already setting our sights on one billion!”
