"I am consistently expanding my IT and GameDev assets, investing in various segments of the industry – from large studios, such as NAVI and GSC Game World (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), to the mobile direction, which today is one of the most dynamic in the world. Burny Games, from its very first steps, has shown itself to be a mature team with the potential to scale. They combine expertise, responsibility, and passion for the product. I am convinced that such partnerships form a new wave of Ukrainian gamedev companies capable of competing on a global level," notes Maxim Krippa.

Burny Games, founded in 2022, operates in the mobile puzzle game segment and has grown to over 140 employees in just a few years. The company covers the full game development cycle and also develops its own publishing division. According to Burny Games CEO Anatoliy Henis, the partnership will allow the company to accelerate scaling and strengthen its position in the international market.

"From the start, we built the company with the ambition of becoming a global player. Partnership gives us the opportunity to move toward this goal faster – both in terms of the product and internal processes," he notes.

As of March 2026, the total number of Burny Games downloads exceeded 65 million. The company's portfolio comprises approximately ten projects, five of which are commercially successful. Certain products of the company demonstrate strong positions in the rankings; in particular, the game Colorwood Words topped the Ukrainian App Store in 2025, surpassing Roblox. 

The company is also developing partnership projects: in 2025, Burny Games launched its publishing direction and released its first game in collaboration with the Portuguese company Infinity Games.
