About Astraware
Astraware designs, publishes and sells its own puzzle, arcade, solitaire, Sudoku and casino-style games for iPhone, iPad and Android. Its current focus is games with regular daily content. Titles include crosswords, number and logic puzzles, word searches and a 12-game solitaire pack.
Players are the customers. The company earns revenue from in-app purchases such as extra puzzle packs, extra features and the Puzzles Plus subscription, which removes adverts. It also offers free puzzles supported by adverts or sponsored surveys that earn in-game credits. Custom development for other companies is occasional.
Astraware Limited is a privately owned UK company registered in Newcastle and founded in 2000. The company states that it has been making games for mobile devices since 1998 and that more than a million people have enjoyed its daily puzzle games. Its founder David Oakley works on app and server development, and Howard Tomlinson leads game design and puzzle development.
Product: Mobile puzzle and casual games for iOS and Android, including crosswords, Sudoku, logic puzzles, solitaire and casino games.
