OUR STORY

Before the app store existed, we’re already everywhere—shipping across J2ME carrier decks and squeezing smooth gameplay onto devices most developers couldn’t wrangle.

Concrete becomes one of the go-to studios on BlackBerry, proving that smart design and tight controls can turn a keyboard-and-trackball handset into a game machine.

In June 2006 we partner with Handmark to include Aces® Texas Hold’em — No Limit in Tetris® Game Pak 2, a retail bundle shipping across BlackBerry, Palm OS, Pocket PC, and Windows Mobile 5.0—putting a Concrete title on store shelves alongside one of the most iconic brands in gaming.

By 2006 Aces Texas Hold’em is a top-10 best-seller across multiple smartphone platforms and the quarter-million-copies-sold club—proof the studio has a knack for instantly-pick-up-able gameplay.

August 2007, Concrete brings Mattel’s UNO® to BlackBerry as UNO® Classic 2007, tuned for every color BlackBerry from the Curve to the Pearl. Already a top-seller on other mobile platforms, it shows what a polished port of a classic card game looks like in your pocket.

3D Lawn Darts is named an Independent Games Festival Mobile 2008 finalist—recognition that the studio isn’t just shipping quickly, it’s shipping with craft. Under the hood, the game pioneers real-motion gameplay by opening the device’s camera shutter and analyzing the resulting blur lines to detect how players are swinging their phone—a wildly inventive use of the hardware most developers ignored.

In June 2008, Concrete signs a deal with the Professional Bowlers Association and releases PBA® Bowling for feature phones, Windows Mobile, and BlackBerry—11 of the top PBA stars, real bowling motion controls, and a marketing push that includes promo spots on ESPN’s GEICO PBA Team Shootout.

PBA Bowling Challenge launches on Google Play in January 2013 and the App Store that November—eventually passing 23 million downloads and cementing our reputation for authentic licensed sports titles.

NHL Hockey Target Smash arrives with all 30 NHL teams and fast, arcade-style target shooting—our first official NHL partnership on mobile.

Rapala Fishing – Daily Catch launches in February 2016, bringing the world’s most trusted name in fishing to mobile with real lures, real gear, and real Rapala branding.

Endless snowmobile racing hits iOS and Android in March 2016 under the Arctic Cat brand—another example of pairing iconic licensees with tight, pick-up-and-play gameplay.

Rapala Fishing Pro Series launches on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One in October 2017—Concrete’s first step beyond mobile and onto the living-room TV.

On the back of Rapala Fishing Pro Series, select Concrete titles stepped off the phone and onto Nintendo Switch®, Xbox®, and PlayStation®—a short, bold chapter that proved the studio could deliver console-grade experiences.

PGA TOUR Golf Shootout tees off on April 17, 2019 across iOS and Android—72+ holes from iconic TPC courses, authentic TOUR branding, and live tournaments in your pocket.

Concrete partners with East Side Games to launch My Arcade Empire™, an 80s-themed idle tap game built on East Side Games’ idle kit. Tap to build retro arcades, collect characters, and become the most bodacious arcade tycoon of Ridgemont.

Our next flagship pairs real NHRA tracks, real Legends, and real cars with mobile drag racing built for thumbs—and we’re just getting started.

Concrete Software remains privately owned by its co-founders—focused on long-term brand partnerships, rock-solid games, and players who stick around for years, not weeks.
