At AppQuantum, we partner with talented studios that aim for long-term growth in their niche and have the potential to become market leaders through strong products.

That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with FINIFUGU — an ambitious Hong Kong-based studio behind Otter Ocean and the upcoming idle railway simulator Animal Express. 

FINIFUGU is exactly the kind of partner that can grow successfully within the AppQuantum ecosystem. The team has a recognizable style, deep expertise in idle games, and a strong understanding of what keeps players engaged over time.

Otter Ocean reached a global audience, earned strong player ratings, surpassed 1+ million downloads on Google Play, and received featuring support from both Apple and Google. Animal Express is the next step in expanding this direction. These games clearly show FINIFUGU’s ability to create charming worlds, memorable characters, and engaging gameplay systems that keep players engaged over time.

You can play Animal Express on iOS and Android

“AppQuantum’s portfolio in idle simulation, management, and tycoon games closely matches FINIFUGU’s own creative direction. Their experience with titles in these genres shows a deep understanding of the market — not only how to launch these games, but also how to scale and support them as they grow. That’s why AppQuantum felt like the right partner for us. With Animal Express, we can focus more deeply on game design, production, art, and character-driven systems while working alongside a team with strong market knowledge and publishing experience.“ — FINIFUGU

For us, this partnership is another opportunity to show how a strong combination of publishing, product, and business support can help studios grow, repeat the success of their games, and bring their creativity to a global audience. We combine all of our expertise to make this happen: marketing with audience research and creative testing, product support focused on gameplay depth, retention, monetization, and LiveOps. This approach helps turn success into a system built on expertise, analytics, and shared processes, not just a lucky hit.

“FINIFUGU is the kind of team we’re always excited to work with. They’ve already shown strong potential with Otter Ocean, and with Animal Express we see an opportunity to build on that momentum and grow even further together. 

What stands out about FINIFUGU is their ability to strengthen results from project to project. They combine a clear creative vision with strong expertise in idle and simulation games, while our role is to help scale that potential through marketing, analytics, product expertise, and business support.“ — AppQuantum
