Chosen by Founders Who
Ship,/Scale,/Operate
Partnering with early-stage and scaling startups to build systems that define the next generation of industry leaders.
Entertainment With Unit Economics
Successful games balance art with analytics: retention curves, session depth, conversion funnels. Control Shift builds both halves — polished gameplay in Unity/Unreal plus the telemetry, remote-config and economy dashboards letting teams iterate post-launch instead of praying at launch.
Regional fluency matters here: Arabic UI done natively, culturally attuned content, payment paths suited to Gulf spending patterns, and tournament features riding the region's competitive energy.
Game Services
Full-cycle capability from concept through sustained live operation.
Mobile Game Builds
Unity/Unreal titles optimised for mid-range Android realities.
Multiplayer Backends
Authoritative servers, matchmaking and anti-cheat foundations.
Live-Ops Toolkits
Remote config, events, A/B tests and economy dashboards included.
Monetisation Design
IAP stores, battle passes and ads balanced against retention.
MENA Localisation
Native Arabic RTL, cultural art direction and regional payments.
Porting & Co-Dev
Extending existing titles to new platforms or team extension.
