Award nominated indie developer and publisher VooFoo Studios, best known for the ‘Pure’ series and acclaimed top-down racer, Mantis Burn Racing®, today proudly celebrate their 10th birthday! To mark the occasion VooFoo has revealed that their games have generated over 5.5M downloads across all platforms to date.

Technology Director and owner of VooFoo Studios, Mark Williams, is delighted to have reached such a prestigious milestone, “For a small indie studio to be celebrating our 10th anniversary and over 5M downloads in such a notoriously unpredictable industry is something we can all be immensely proud of. It's testament to the hard work, determination and talent of the team and I want to thank everyone who has contributed to all of our achievements over the past 10 years. With our move into publishing, work underway on a new owned IP and exciting plans for Mantis Burn Racing®, the future’s never looked brighter for the studio - here’s to the next 10 years!”

VooFoo Studios was founded in 2007, starting out as just a three-man team short on resources and finance but equipped with boundless enthusiasm and an unflinching ambition to create fun, best-in-class games that anyone can play. After many years hard work, the studio has grown and developed a proud reputation for creative and technical expertise with games that have released on every major gaming console, PC and mobile, all of which have been developed using their own in-house tech and game engine.

VooFoo’s first published game, Hustle Kings, published by Sony in 2009, reached the top of the PSN charts, earning them two Develop Awards nominations in the process. Whilst Hustle Kings helped launch the studio, the VooFoo developed ‘Pure’ series of games - Pure Chess (2012), Pure Pool (2014) and Pure Hold’em (2015), along with Big Sky Infinity (2012), FlyHunter (2014) and Mantis Burn Racing® (2016), earned the studio hoards of enthusiastic reviews from press and gamers worldwide and have collectively generated over 5.5M downloads across all platforms. With a growing team and increased in-house expertise, 2016 saw VooFoo take the bold and exciting step into publishing with the release of their first owned IP, the highly acclaimed and incredibly addictive top-down racer, Mantis Burn Racing®, on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Steam (PC).
