Corktown-built touch-battle games & live chronicle
IT Game Studio · Toronto
Touch-battle games, built and chronicled from Corktown.
We design one-thumb fighting games, cover the Toronto touch-battle scene match by match, and tune every build until 120fps feels effortless.
What we do
Three things, done properly.
From first prototype to launch-day coverage, everything ships out of our studio at 162A Queen Street East — no outsourced pipelines.
01
Touch-Battle Game Builds
8–14 week engagements · from CA$18,000
Full production of one-thumb fighting and reflex games for iOS and Android, from netcode-ready prototype to store submission. Rollback multiplayer, haptics, and a tuned input buffer come standard.
- Rollback netcode & lobbies
- Unity or Godot delivery
- App Store + Play submission kit
02
Live Scene Chronicle & Coverage
Match-day coverage · CA$1,200 per event
We chronicle the Toronto touch-battle circuit: bracket write-ups, frame-data breakdowns, and same-night recap posts published to the blog while the venue is still packing up.
- Same-night recap articles
- Player & bracket profiles
- Clip cut-downs for socials
03
Performance & QA Tuning
2–3 week sprints · from CA$6,500
A dedicated device-lab pass on an existing build: input latency profiling, frame-pacing fixes, and battery-draw tuning across 20+ real handsets before you push an update.
- Input latency profiling
- Frame-pacing & thermal fixes
- 20+ device regression lab

Studio Reel — inside a Queen East match night
2:48TouchBattleChronicle rebuilt our netcode in nine weeks and the difference was night and day — trades that used to feel random finally land. Our retention jumped a third after the update.

Their same-night recap of the Queen East Cup was up before I'd even left the venue, frame data and all. Nobody else covers this scene with that kind of care.

The QA sprint found a thermal throttle we'd chased for months. They handed back a report per device and our one-star 'laggy' reviews basically stopped.

Good to know
Questions we hear a lot.
Still unsure whether we're the right fit? Reach out — we answer every message within a business day.
We ship primarily on Unity and Godot, choosing per project based on your team's future maintenance needs. If you already have an in-house engine, we can work inside it — we'll do a short technical review first so there are no surprises mid-build.
We chronicle the full touch-battle circuit across the GTA, from Corktown pop-up brackets to the larger Queen East Cup weekends. If you're running an event and want same-night coverage, book us at least two weeks ahead so we can schedule a writer and a clip editor.
Every sprint starts with a baseline capture on our 24-device lab, then targeted work on input latency, frame pacing, and thermal behaviour. You get a per-device before-and-after report plus a prioritised fix list, and we can implement the fixes ourselves or hand them to your team.
Our studio is at 162A Queen Street East in Corktown, Toronto. Partners are welcome to visit the device lab by appointment — we're open weekdays and keep Saturday mornings for scheduled build reviews.
Build engagements are split across a deposit, a mid-project milestone, and delivery, all quoted in Canadian dollars. Coverage and QA sprints are billed per event or per sprint. We'll give you a fixed timeline in the proposal and flag any scope changes before they affect the schedule.
