“Codeglue is very excited about tapping Flashman’s experience and comprehensive industry knowledge to bring our passion for gaming and our unique technical capabilities to the next generation of gaming,” said Peter de Jong, President and Creative Director of Codeglue. “We were quite struck by their enthusiasm for and confidence in our ability to grow beyond mobile, and leverage our development and design onto other platforms.”

Brad Young, CEO of Flashman Studios, is eager for the opportunity to collaborate with Codeglue, “Our business model consistently matches up the perfect combination of publisher and developer. Codeglue’s successful track record, with such hits as Worms World Party and Love a Lemming, demonstrates to us that they’re perfectly positioned for us to take their great game development to the next level.” Young added, “With Codeglue we have a full package to present to publishers.”
