Kickdrum Reviews

Professional Game Development Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Rachel Tan / CEO | Oct 10, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. 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.

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

We partnered with Kickdrum to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 6-month engagement.

They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Siddharth Verma / Owner | Oct 05, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

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

Happy to recommend them.

Skilled Mobile App Development Team That Understood Our Business

Emily Doyle / Chief Digital Officer | Aug 01, 2026

Kickdrum did an excellent job for us. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

The Mobile App 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 hired Kickdrum to rebuild our existing mobile app, which had poor reviews and frequent crashes. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The project took roughly 4 months from kickoff to launch.
