Welcome to Alphaworks
About Alphaworks
Alphaworks was founded in November 1999 as a technology consulting firm based in Brisbane, Australia. But our roots in software run far deeper.
Our experience with games and interactive entertainment dates to 1982, when we began writing titles for early home computers and consoles—Commodore VIC-20, Commodore 64, and Atari systems. Working in BASIC and Assembler on hardware with kilobytes of memory taught us a fundamental principle: constraint breeds creativity. We learned to make games that were engaging, responsive, and fun within severe technical limitations. Over those early years, we shipped games under various company names, including Rebel Software, Entertainment Software, and Southern Star.
Although Alphaworks is now in its 27th year, that philosophy hasn’t changed.
Since 2010, we’ve focused on developing for modern mobile platforms—iOS, macOS, tvOS, Android, and Windows. The hardware is infinitely more powerful, the platforms are vastly different, but the core mission remains: make simple, fun, entertaining games that don’t require complexity to deliver enjoyment. Every title we build is designed to be easy to pick up, quick to enjoy, and hard to put down, whether you’ve got five minutes or an afternoon to spare.
Today, our lineup includes Cosmic Blaster, a fast-paced arcade shooter for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and macOS, and Maze Runner: Rats on the Run, a puzzle-chase game for tvOS and macOS.
