Great Experience With Joust on Our Game Development Project

Rahul Sharma / Managing Director | Sep 28, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. 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.

The Game Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We partnered with Joust to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The project took roughly 2 months from kickoff to launch.

Professional Cloud Services Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Andre Bennett / Senior Product Manager | Jul 25, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. 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. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Sara Qureshi / Owner | Jul 03, 2026

Joust did an excellent job for us. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We would definitely work with them again.

Honest advice and solid execution

Rob Doyle / Director of Technology | Mar 11, 2026

Joust 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.

They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since.

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

Project summary
