Appxplore (iCandy), formerly known as Appxplore, is a game developer studio based on Kuala Lumpur. It is known for producing 2D puzzle games for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and other mobile devices.[1][2]
History
Appxplore was created in 2011 by Desmond Lee and Jenn-Yu Lim. Lee decided to create the company after producing Saladin: The Animated Series for Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation.[3][4] According to Lee, their original sponsor left after the limited commercial success of their first game. Another sponsor came in but he also left in two years.[5]
In 2014, 70% of Appxplore was bought by Fatfish's subsidiary High Joyful International Limited, thus becoming a subsidiary from iCandy Interactive. The company changed its name to Appxplore (iCandy).[1]
In 2016, Appxplore announced that it would start publishing games from local developers.[2]
