App Development
Mobile App Development for iOS & Android
We don't only build games — we build apps. Interactive, gamified, and companion apps for iOS and Android, for clients across Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the GCC.
The same engineering and design discipline that ships our games builds great apps. Years of making interactive, real-time products gives us an edge most app shops don't have: we know how to make an app feel responsive, rewarding, and worth opening every day — not just functional.
Buried Games Studio builds mobile apps end to end: product design, UI/UX, engineering, backend, and store launch on both the App Store and Google Play. We're especially strong on interactive and gamified apps — loyalty mechanics, progression, leaderboards, and playful interactions — as well as game companion apps that connect to a live title.
We frame our stack honestly: Unity when an app is graphics-heavy or shares systems with a game, native or web technologies when a leaner, platform-standard build is the right call. Every app ships Arabic-first with proper right-to-left layout alongside English.

App Store and Google Play submission, plus post-launch updates and analytics.
Stack & platforms
We choose the stack to fit the app — graphics-heavy, native-lean, or web-based.
For graphics-rich, interactive, and game-adjacent apps.
Lean, platform-standard builds where they fit best.

Full submission and review on both stores — we've shipped live.
Our 5-step process
- 01
Discovery
We define the app's purpose, users, features, and platforms — typically 1-2 weeks.
- 02
Design & prototype
Clickable UX flows and an interactive prototype to validate the experience before build.
- 03
Build
Frontend, backend, and integrations developed in sprints with installable builds — timeline scales with scope.
- 04
QA & optimization
Tested across real devices for performance, stability, and a polished feel.
- 05
Launch & updates
App Store and Google Play submission, launch support, and a plan for ongoing updates.

Arabic-first, RTL-native
Right-to-left layouts and Arabic typography built in from the first screen.
Engagement that sticks
Game-honed mechanics that keep users coming back, applied to everyday apps.
Same-timezone collaboration
Decisions and reviews during your working hours.

App development FAQ
Yes. We build mobile apps end to end — design, engineering, backend, and store launch. Our game-building background is an advantage: we make apps feel interactive and engaging, not just functional.
