About us — Orbital Knight

We are indie mobile game developers with 12 years of experience.

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.

OUR HISTORY

Orbital Knight was founded in 2012. The studio began with Polish game dev veterans who aspired to develop a neo-noir, Blade Runner-inspired platformer. However, that project didn’t work out. Yet, for us, failure is not the end but an opportunity for change. Karol Drzymała, now our CEO, was determined to keep going. Long story short, Star Horizon was developed.

Released in 2014, Star Horizon was featured by Apple and acclaimed as one of the best-looking mobile games, marking a great success for us. A few months later, we launched Kickerinho. Since then, we have made many games, including Castle Wreck, Crazy Kick, Force Master, Kickerinho World, and more. In 2021, our game Spire Blast, developed for Apple Arcade, became the Top Apple Arcade Game. By the end of 2021, our games had been downloaded 120 million times on Android and iOS devices!

In 2023, we released Castle Crumble, our latest Apple Arcade title. Once again, it was a successful year filled with many colorful updates!

2024 - Year of the Dragon

2024 is undoubtedly the Year of the Dragon(s) for us. The excitement begins with the highly anticipated update for Spire Blast, introducing Floating Rivers! Then, on March 28th, our ever-hungry dragons debut on Apple Vision Pro, allowing the mysterious towers to appear anywhere around you. To top it off, our game Castle Crumble has been nominated for the "Best Polish Mobile Game" category at the Digital Dragons Awards!

WHAT MATTERS TO US

Good communication

We operate by the Nonviolent Communication approach and at the same time encourage every employee to give honest feedback. Decisions made based on 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 sometimes have differing views, but we always understand the reasons behind them. All information is made known to employees, from project details to the company budget.

Ingenuity

Within our team, we enjoy sharing insights, opinions, and inspirations. 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 using a dedicated training budget.
