From Solo Dream to Collaborative Success

Cranky Alien Games was founded in 2021 by independent developer Giuseppe Licata with a passion for creating unique and engaging games. After nearly 18 months of tireless work as a solo developer, Giuseppe finally realized his dream with the launch of Swoon!

​

Swoon was an ambitious project that required commitment, dedication, and talent to bring to fruition. Thanks to collaborations with SoftSource Pte Ltd, CRX Entertainment, and other partners, the game was successfully funded and published. This success provided Giuseppe with the opportunity to expand his team and work on new exciting projects.

​

Now, Cranky Alien Games is in a new phase of the adventure in the gaming industry. With a dedicated lab for game development and porting, the team is ready to explore new ideas, create extraordinary gaming experiences, and engage players from around the world.
