Who are we?

So, you’ve made it here — curious about what life is like at Octocube Games HQ?
We’re an indie game studio, and our focus is clear: we create mobile games packed with content, designed for replayability, and centered around a strong sense of progression. What sets us apart? We don’t rely on exploitative monetization techniques. No forced ads, no gacha systems, no chance-based premium content. Just good, honest game development.
At Octocube Games, we believe in flexibility and freedom. Expect a 30-hour work week and the ability to adjust your schedule as needed. Bad night's sleep? Personal life throwing some curveballs? We get it. As long as we’re not in the middle of a critical sprint, there’s no need for excuses—just take the time you need. We understand that life happens, whether it’s family commitments, personal appointments, or simply needing a mental break. We want you to manage life without feeling like you’re letting down the team.
Still with us? It gets better. We don’t do meetings for the sake of meetings!
We’re a forward-thinking, close-knit indie team. We set high expectations and believe in quality over quantity. Here, everyone’s contribution matters, and we want you to feel valued and impactful—because that’s the kind of team we’re building.
PS: We have plans to move into the PC market in the future. Exciting stuff!
