At Sunday, we fuel hybrid-casual games by developing and marketing fun, easy-to-play mobile games that consistently top the charts and generate hundreds of millions of downloads globally. Our talented team of developers, artists, designers, and marketers work together to build games that are easy to jump into but hard to put down, striking the perfect balance between enjoyment and monetization. As proud members of the applike group, our primary focus is on leveraging their cutting-edge advertising technology to deliver smart, player-friendly monetization and contribute to a thriving mobile ecosystem. Supported by Bertelsmann, Europe's largest media company, we are equipped with the resources to push the boundaries of the mobile gaming space. Join us as we continue to shape the future of hybrid-casual gaming.
