Our take
A surprising hit in the video game format is the “idle game”, in which players require little input or simple and repetitive actions to achieve goals. Mostly on mobile, these games generate revenue from advertisements and in-app purchases and can be highly lucrative for game companies to develop due to their simple design and gameplay.
Kolibri Games is probably one of the most successful idle game companies. Founded in 2016, its Idle Miner Tycoon game had amassed 150 million downloads on Android and IoS as of 2023. Even before that, the company’s success had drawn the attention of gaming giant Ubisoft, which acquired Kolibri in 2020.
As long as Kolibri continues to build on its Idle Miner Tycoon success, it will remain an innovator of the genre. New developments have included making its games available on Facebook’s cloud gaming platform, allowing it to capitalise on developments in the cloud and social media markets.
