Since then, we’ve built a portfolio of games that include Funko Pop! Blitz, Adventures of Pip, Pug Run, Wheel Of Fortune: Puzzle Pop – all of which have delighted players and earned awards for their technology and innovation.

  • 2018: Going Global - In 2018, we expanded Tic Toc Games with a sister studio in Manila, Philippines bringing on outstanding programmers, artists, producers, and all the people who make this happen.

    Our two studios work hand-in-hand around the clock to make great games people love to play.

Adventures of Pip launched in 2015 after a successful Kickstarter campaign, and in 2021 we launched B.ARK, a Saturday Morning Cartoon-inspired shoot em’ up for players of all skill levels. Stay tuned, we have more delightful experiences coming your way soon.

👋 Hey! Nate from Work With Indies here. Just wanted to drop by to say that I met Tic Toc's CEO about 2 years ago and we quickly became good friends. He's a kind, generous soul with an infectious smile. I can't say enough nice things.

I've also had the pleasure of hanging with several of his teammates and not only are the all great people, they all seem to really love their job and their team. I'm pretty jealous of those of you who will get to work with this group every day.
