Finnish studio Small Giant Games raises $3.1 million

Small Giant Games, a Helsinki, FInland-based new game studio with a differentiated approach to casual gaming is now backed by Creandum, PROfounders, Spintop Ventures, Capital A Partners and a group of private investors, including Gregory Milken and Risto Siilasmaa, as it announced the completion of their investment round.

The company raised $3.1 million for launching their first game and for development of several new titles.

“It’s not possible to succeed in the fiercely competed mobile games market just by copying existing popular games – you need to create new and unparalleled game features and experiences, which shape the existing genres and create entirely new ones. One of our goals is to raise the quality of character animations in mobile games to a new level”, Small Giant Games CEO Timo Soininen says. “We are thrilled to get experienced investors to back our vision of creating beautiful and engaging multiplayer games with small focused teams.” Soininen continues.

Small Giant Games was founded in early 2013 by a group of Finland's leading game designers, developers and graphic artists. Currently the team is finalizing its first title Oddwings Escape, which is aimed to launch globally in the beginning of 2015. The deeply engaging new type of flying game combines innovative one-touch control mechanics with highly detailed graphics and rich physics enhanced character animations.
