About Us – Imaginyx
Welcome to Imaginyx, a passionate and innovative arcade games development studio dedicated to crafting captivating experiences for Android platforms. We are a team of dedicated developers, artists, and designers united by a shared love for classic arcade gameplay and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming.
Our Story: From Pixel Dreams to Mobile Reality
Imaginyx wasn’t born overnight. It began with a shared childhood fascination with the golden age of arcades. Late nights spent mastering titles like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Donkey Kong instilled in us a profound appreciation for simple, addictive, and endlessly replayable gameplay. As technology evolved, we recognized an opportunity to bring that classic arcade magic to the palm of your hand. Founded in early 2018 by lead developer, Alex Rykov, and artist, Elena Volkov, Imaginyx started as a small passion project. We worked tirelessly in our spare time, fueled by caffeine and a desire to create the games we always dreamed of playing on mobile. Initially, our development process was a bit messy. We tried different game engines, experimented with various art styles, and learned countless lessons from early prototypes. However, with each iteration, we refined our approach, solidified our vision, and built a team of talented individuals who shared our passion. The launch of our first game, ‘Cosmic Dash,’ in late 2019, marked a pivotal moment for Imaginyx. It wasn’t an instant hit, but it garnered a loyal following of players who appreciated its retro charm and challenging gameplay. This success validated our commitment to arcade-style mobile games and laid the foundation for our future endeavors.
