HYBRIDCASUAL GAMES

What is a Hybridcasual game?

We can think of Hybridcasual games as mobile games that have hyper casual core game loops and simple mechanics, which are expanded and amplified with features and monetisation models of casual / mid-core games.

Retaining the positive instant action, snackable essence of a hyper casual whilst offering deeper and more complex player upgrades and progression systems. These create longer-term motivation, increased retention and player progression.
