About us

We are indie mobile game developers with 10 years of experience.

Orbital Knight was founded in 2012. In its beginnings, the studio consisted of Polish game dev veterans and was in the desire to develop a neo-noir, Blade Runner-inspired platformer.

But… that didn’t work out. Yet, for us failure is not the end, but an opportunity for a change. Back then, Karol Drzymała who is now our CEO, decided to make a mobile game. Long story short, the Star Horizon was developed.

Star Horizon, released in 2014, featured by Apple and acclaimed to be one of the best-looking mobile games was a great success. A few months later they launched Kickerinho. Since then we have made many games like Castle Wreck, Crazy Kick, Force Master, Kickerinho World, and more. Our latest premium unique physics-based puzzle game Spire Blast developed for Apple Arcade achieved great results and became the 2021 Top Apple Arcade Game.

To the future!

Orbital Knight is a team of almost 50 knights from talented youngsters to experienced industry veterans. We survived the pandemic and learned to collaborate remotely connecting people from different Polish cities like Warszawa, Wrocław, Kraków, Katowice, or Kębłowo.

The year 2021 closed with the final number of 120 million downloads of our games on Android and iOS devices!

2022 is full of challenges, hard work and celebration, because we have several new games in production. And we're hiring! Eight new people have joined our company this year. Also, we have celebrated our 10th birthday in July. Now we look forward to 2023, the year of new games releases!

OUR VALUES

Good communication

We operate in accordance with the Nonviolent Communication approach and at the same time encourage every employee to give honest feedback. Decisions made on the basis of multiple independent opinions are always better. Therefore, we talk and listen to each other respectfully.

Transparency

Every Knight knows why a particular decision has been made. We don't always agree, but we always understand the reasons why. From details in projects to the company budget, all information is made known to employees.

Ingenuity

Within our team, we enjoy sharing insights, opinions and what inspire us. Once a month we put tasks aside and have a special day to be creative and play with new ideas and concepts. In addition, everyone can develop their skills and interests within a training budget.
