History
Hipster Whale is a multi-award winning Australian studio founded in 2014 by Matt Hall and Andy Sum. Their first release, Crossy Road, quickly became a viral success and has to-date amassed more than 250 million downloads.
Since then, this small indie studio has continued to make big waves, receiving over a dozen nationally and globally recognised awards, including the Apple Design Award for Crossy Road and the 2015 Studio of the Year at the Australian Game Developers Awards.
Hipster Whale has also joined forces with world-renowned companies along the way, including Bandai Namco and Disney to create more top-charting games like PAC-MAN 256 and Disney Crossy Road.
Hipster Whale continues to make and publish bright and funny games with broad appeal, including the Apple Arcade exclusive Crossy Road Castle, and Piffle, developed by Mighty Games.
