Belka Games

Mid-tier casual mobile gaming studio with globally distributed titles, formerly part of AppLovin's gaming portfolio, now under Tripledot Studios ownership

Belka Games is a mobile gaming studio originally founded in Minsk, Belarus, best known for developing casual and mid-core mobile games including Clockmaker (a match-3 puzzle game) and Funky Bay (a farm and adventure game). The studio built a strong portfolio of free-to-play titles monetized through in-app purchases and in-app advertising, making it a notable player in the casual mobile gaming segment. AppLovin took a strategic minority investment in Belka Games in September 2019, later increasing its stake to a majority position. This relationship gave Belka Games access to AppLovin's MAX mediation platform and broader advertising technology ecosystem, helping optimize user acquisition and in-app monetization across its game portfolio. The partnership exemplified AppLovin's strategy of investing in mobile game studios to both grow its gaming portfolio and drive adoption of its advertising tools. In June 2025, Tripledot Studios acquired Belka Games, divesting it from AppLovin's portfolio. Tripledot, a London-based casual mobile gaming company known for titles like Solitaire and Woodoku, expanded its studio roster and game catalog through the acquisition. Belka Games represents a significant case study in the AdTech-meets-gaming investment model that AppLovin pioneered during the late 2010s and early 2020s.
