Mobile casual games with 200M+ downloads across Android and iOS
BlackLight Gaming operates a portfolio of casual mobile titles at significant scale—their flagship has crossed 200 million downloads. The tech stack reflects a mature mobile-first operation: Android, iOS, and Unity3D as the core, backed by a hybrid cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, DynamoDB) and a modern API layer (Node.js, REST/GraphQL). Active work on API testing frameworks, performance monitoring, and CI/CD integration suggests the engineering team is actively hardening backend systems to handle the load that comes with millions of concurrent users—a direct response to their stated pain points around testing at scale and backend robustness.
BlackLight Gaming develops casual mobile games for the Android and iOS platforms, with a focus on card and board game titles adapted for mobile audiences.

Their flagship title, Ludo SuperStar, has exceeded 200 million downloads, and two other titles, CallBreak and Carrom, rank in the top 100 games on the India Play Store. The engineering-focused team (8 members) is concentrated on backend infrastructure and API reliability to support the user volume and concurrent play demands of their games.
