Burny Games Steps Into Publishing With Its First Partner Title – Colorwood Associations

Burny Games, a Ukrainian product-first mobile company known for its top-notch puzzle games, is officially entering the publishing arena. Its debut partner title, Colorwood Associations, was developed together with Portugal-based Infinity Games.

A New Chapter for Burny Games

For Burny Games, publishing is a strategic expansion; one that strengthens the studio’s ability to test new formats faster, grow its portfolio, and support promising teams across the industry.

“We’re not interested in pumping out a hundred prototypes a year. We focus on only the ideas we genuinely believe in and go all-in on them,” says Burny Games CEO Anatolii Henis.

Burny remains a full-cycle product studio while simultaneously investing in external projects, providing production support, analytics, and marketing expertise. The core principles: a strong, competitive product idea, aligned values, transparent collaboration, and mutual trust.

Ukraine has only a handful of product-driven studios and even fewer publishers. Burny aims to shift that landscape by pairing strong internal development with a selective publishing model, creating opportunities for new teams and new games. By doing so, the company hopes to inspire the local market to invest in original IPs and grow the reputation of Ukrainian game development globally.

Colorwood Associations: Familiar Mechanics, Next-Level Execution

Colorwood Associations is a word-grouping puzzle game where players sort concepts into logical categories. The mechanic is familiar, but Burny Games brought its trademark tactile feel, clean UI, and cozy art direction to elevate the experience.

At its core lies a proven format – reimagined by Burny Games through the vibrant lens of the Colorwood universe. The result? Colorwood Associations hit over 500,000 downloads in its first month.

“You can freely experiment and rearrange words without penalties. It makes the experience relaxed and genuinely pleasant,” says Burny Games producer Maria Myronenko.

From concept to MVP in just two months: Burny Games handled the visual direction and product quality, while Infinity Games took charge of development and production. Up next – more levels, new localizations (including Ukrainian), and regular in-game events.

“Our collaboration with Burny spans everything from strategy to day-to-day product work. Both teams are aligned on quality, speed, and player satisfaction,” says Infinity Games CEO Muhammad Sattar.

The game is available now on iOS and Android.
