Trusted by Brands & Studios
We've earned the confidence of publishers, indie teams, and Fortune 500 entertainment brands. Here's what they say.
"Vogel & Vance Pixel took our rough prototype and turned it into a polished match-3 title that hit 2 million downloads in its first quarter. Their team handled everything — art overhaul, monetization tuning, even the live-ops calendar for our first Halloween event. They didn't just execute; they made the game better at every stage. We've since greenlit two more projects with them."
"Working with a US-based team that genuinely understands casual mobile made all the difference. Our idle farming sim shipped on time, on budget, and with 40% day-30 retention. The post-launch support has been flawless."
"We needed a partner who could build an educational word game that was COPPA-compliant and actually fun. They delivered a product our school district partners love and parents trust. 4.8 stars across both stores."
About Vogel & Vance Pixel
We're a tight-knit mobile game development team based in Duarte, California — right in the heart of LA County's creative corridor. For nearly a decade, we've been the development partner consumer brands, indie studios, and publishers turn to when they need iOS and Android games built right.
Our process is collaborative, not transactional. We embed with your team, learn your audience, and build gameplay systems that align with your business goals — whether that's ad revenue, IAP, subscriptions, or brand engagement. Every project gets a dedicated producer, a senior designer, and an art lead from day one.
We believe great mobile games come from respect for the player's time. Quick to start, satisfying to continue, and worth returning to tomorrow. That philosophy runs through every genre we touch.
