ARCANEDEV Delivered a Quality Game Development Solution on Time

Daniel Khan / CEO | Oct 04, 2026

The project went well overall. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We hired ARCANEDEV to develop a casual mobile game from concept to launch. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The engagement ran for about 7 months.

Professional Mobile App Development Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Chloe Wilson / Project Manager | Oct 02, 2026

ARCANEDEV did an excellent job for us. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Mark Patel / Head of Engineering | Aug 10, 2026

ARCANEDEV did an excellent job for us. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. 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.

The Software Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We engaged ARCANEDEV to rebuild an internal order management system that had outgrown its original design. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. We worked together for around 4 months.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Josh Walker / Project Manager | Jun 08, 2026

We were happy with the final result. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.
