Kihon

edit

Kihon is a collection of industry veterans who specialize in micro-transactional games with integrated social features. Kihon has released three iOS titles to date: “Baby Monkey (going backwards on a pig)”, “SketchPhrase”, and “Dojo Danger”. Each title is extremely polished, highly reviewed, and drastically unique. Combined they give a sense of the breadth of our skill-set which ranges from freemium to premium; casual to core; single player to asynchronous multiplayer.

Prior to Kihon, the team was making large-scale micro-transactional Facebook game titles for Sony Online Entertainment. Key members of the team brought the award-winning game “PoxNora” to market.
