We are one of the very first native games developer to have our games sold over the air by carriers like Orange (Symbian and Windows Mobile).
These games are powered by a very efficient middleware which greatly enhances all the development process. Everything is developed on a classic desktop PC, with a very reduced but powerful set of C++ APIs, and then it is deployed instantly on all the major open operating systems without any hassle. It also comes with a lot of tools to help the developer. The mobile versions are then ready for the certification process since all the required criteria are handled internally by the middleware.

BitRabbit works with some of the most prestigious publishers on the smartphone and PDAs space.
