Our take

Space Ape is a mobile gaming company dedicated to creating the highest quality games for players worldwide. To date, it has launched games such as Rival Kingdoms, Fastlane, and Beatstar, which reached the #1 top-grossing music game in 2022.

In 2021, Space Ape soft-launched Boom Beach: Frontlines with their strategic partner, Supercell, which has also supported the company in its latest funding round. This investment is cited to help Space Ape grow its team and scale marketing, as it capitalises on the massive success of Beatstar, which has acrued upwards of 38 million downloads.
