Ketchapp is a mobile game publishing company that develops iOS and Android games. The company first came into the public eye in 2014 through its port of the open-source game 2048. Following 2048's success, Ketchapp developed several games such as Circle, Don't Touch the Spikes and ZigZag.
History
Ketchapp was founded on January 28, 2014 by Antoine and Michel Morcos.
In 2014, the company took Gabriele Cirulli's open-source puzzle game 2048 and published it as an app, with advertising.[1] The game reached the top of iOS App Store.[2]
A later release was the scrolling reaction game ZigZag.[3] Don't Touch the Spikes,[4] Other games by the company include Jelly Jump[5] and The Tower. Many of Ketchapp’s releases are variations on existing games, such as their Hoverboard Rider being a reskinned version of the popular Flappy Bird.[1]
