What do previous startups think of the program?
“The Game Incubator gave us a chance to pursue our dream. Now millions of people across the world enjoy our games.” Rickard Frisegård, CEO Stunlock Studios
"The Game Incubator was the perfect place for us to grow from experimenting with our ideas, to developing and launching our own social gaming platform.
