Overview:
Cloudcade is a tablet-first mobile games developer & publisher aimed at creating fun, innovative and deeply engaging free-to-play games for the masses. While optimized for tablet devices, each of our titles are also designed to be playable across platform (mobile, web, client, smart tech) in order to ensure global distribution. With all of the player data stored synchronously in the cloud, our players can easily migrate from one platform to the next without ever losing their game progression.
Never compromising on quality, creativity and originality, we pride ourselves on being innovators in bringing a superior midcore mobile gaming experience to our players. Our flagship title is Shop Heroes, a fantasy shop simulation game infused with our unique rendition on the classic RPG style of gameplay. Since launching globally across ten languages, Shop Heroes has garnered over a dozen features and millions of downloads across iTunes, Google Play, Steam, Facebook and Kongregate (just to name a few).

Montreal and Shanghai, cloudcade is poised to emerge as a market leader
in the global mobile gaming landscape.
