What Adaptation Delivers

Mobile-to-arcade adaptation transforms your proven mobile game concept into an engaging arcade experience optimized for physical venues. You receive a professionally converted game that maintains the core appeal while working naturally with arcade controls, display formats, and monetization models.

Preserved Appeal

Your game's essential mechanics and charm remain intact while controls and presentation adapt to arcade environments naturally.

Market Expansion

Reach new audiences in arcade venues, family entertainment centers, and recreational spaces where your mobile game never appeared before.

The adaptation process enhances your game's visual presentation for large displays, redesigns controls for physical inputs, and restructures monetization for coin-play economics. You gain a new revenue stream while extending your game's market presence.

The Adaptation Challenge

Why Simple Ports Fall Short

Your mobile game succeeds because it works perfectly for touch screens, short sessions, and personal devices. Those same design choices that make it excellent on phones create problems in arcade environments where expectations differ significantly.

Touch controls don't translate directly to buttons and joysticks. In-app purchase models clash with coin-operated economics. Visual designs optimized for small screens lose impact on large arcade displays. Simply moving the game to different hardware misses what makes arcade experiences engaging.

The Resource Question

Your development team focuses on maintaining and improving your mobile game. Taking time to learn arcade-specific requirements, redesign systems, and test in venue environments diverts resources from your core product where they create the most value.

You recognize the opportunity in arcade markets but need partners who understand both successful mobile game design and what makes those games work in physical entertainment venues. Finding that combination of expertise requires careful consideration.

Our Adaptation Process

We approach mobile-to-arcade adaptation by identifying what makes your game compelling, then thoughtfully reimagining those elements for arcade contexts. The goal isn't creating something entirely new but translating your existing success into a different entertainment environment.

Control Redesign

Touch interactions transform into button and joystick controls that feel natural and responsive. We maintain your game's rhythm while adapting input methods to physical arcade hardware, ensuring players experience the same satisfying feedback in a different format.

Visual Enhancement

Graphics scale up for large arcade displays while maintaining your game's artistic identity. We enhance visual elements to create impressive presentation on bigger screens, making your game stand out in busy venue environments where visual impact drives player interest.

Monetization Restructuring

In-app purchase mechanics convert to coin-play models that work for arcade operations. We redesign progression systems and reward structures to function effectively within arcade session economics while preserving what makes your game engaging.

How Adaptation Works

1

Game Analysis

We thoroughly explore your mobile game, identifying core mechanics, player engagement patterns, and the elements that make it successful. This analysis informs every adaptation decision throughout the project.

2

Adaptation Planning

Together we determine which elements translate directly and which require reimagining for arcade contexts. You review our adaptation approach before development begins, ensuring alignment with your vision.

3

Conversion Development

We rebuild your game for arcade hardware, implementing redesigned controls, enhanced visuals, and restructured progression. Regular demonstrations let you experience the adaptation as it develops.

4

Venue Testing and Launch

Final testing in actual arcade conditions ensures everything works reliably. You receive the completed arcade version ready for deployment, along with documentation and support for successful implementation.

Ensuring Successful Adaptation

Our Quality Standards

Mobile-to-arcade adaptation requires balancing fidelity to your original game with necessary changes for arcade contexts. We maintain what makes your game special while ensuring it functions effectively in physical venues.

Gameplay Integrity

Core mechanics and the fundamental appeal of your game remain intact throughout adaptation, ensuring arcade players experience what made the mobile version successful.

Arcade Optimization

Every adaptation decision considers how the game functions in arcade environments, from session length to competitive elements that encourage repeat play.

Project Timeline

Adapting mobile games to arcade formats typically requires two to four months depending on your game's complexity. This timeframe includes thorough testing to ensure the arcade version meets quality standards while preserving what makes your game engaging.

You maintain involvement throughout the process, reviewing progress at key stages and providing input that guides adaptation decisions. This collaborative approach ensures the arcade version reflects your vision while functioning effectively in its new environment.

Working Together

Adapting your mobile game represents an opportunity to expand your market presence while building on existing success. We approach this with respect for what you've already created and focus on extending that success thoughtfully.

Collaborative Process

Your insights about what makes your game work inform every adaptation decision. We value your expertise while contributing our understanding of arcade-specific requirements and player expectations.

Rights and Ownership

You retain full ownership of both your original mobile game and the arcade adaptation. The relationship focuses on creating a successful arcade version that complements your existing product.

Initial Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your mobile game to determine how well it suits arcade adaptation. Not every mobile game translates effectively, and we'll provide honest assessment about whether adaptation makes sense for your specific game and business goals.
