The company started in 2003 as a mobile games developer, creating over 35 titles for mobile phones based on some of the best known brands working with all the major publishers.
At the end of 2007 the company successfully transitioned from mobile gaming to hand held console development and struck a multi-title deal with the publisher Slitherine. The first handheld console title born out of this relationships is due for release in Q1 2009.
Iain McNeil, Slitherine’s director of development, said: “We are very happy to be working with Impressionware on a number of projects. Their background in mobile gaming gives them a unique insight into designing the gameplay and user interface and the technical knowhow to make sure games run well on handheld consoles.”
