## About Lightneer

Lightneer was a mobile game development studio based in Helsinki, Finland, founded in 2015 by former Rovio employees.

The company initially focused on creating educational games that combined engaging gameplay with informal learning in subjects like physics, chemistry, and languages. Their debut game, Big Bang Legends, launched in late 2016 and achieved significant success, becoming the #1 Educational Game in Asia and the top overall download in Finland. In 2018, Lightneer shifted its focus from educational games to hyper-casual games, emphasizing rapid prototyping and market testing. The studio developed over 10 titles available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, supported by publisher Voodoo. Despite its innovative approach and initial funding success, Lightneer eventually closed its operations.
