Skilled Game Development Team That Understood Our Business

Siddharth Reddy / Owner | Jul 20, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. I would recommend Ads Refinery to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Project summary

We engaged Ads Refinery to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The project took roughly 7 months from kickoff to launch.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Carlos Henderson / CEO | Jun 18, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly.

If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Capable IT Consulting team — happy with the end result

Emma Roy / Head of Digital Transformation | May 13, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

Ads Refinery was brought in to help us choose and plan the rollout of a new core system. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 9-month engagement.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Software Development Team

Julie Campbell / Director of Technology | Feb 07, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.
