BIT.TRIP Developer Gets Bigger
Gaijin Games – developer of the BIT.TRIP franchise – has acquired Robotube Games, a fellow independent studio that specializes in web-based puzzle games.
The acquisition gives Gaijin reach into some other, previously untapped areas. "Our bio-absorbtion of Robotube Games, its licenses, brands, personnel, and flavors, allows us to head in new directions that Gaijin Games was heretofore unable to pursue," said Gaijin CEO Alex Neuse. "Building up brands has always been a passion of ours, and this acquisition allows us to focus on creating more unique franchises faster than ever."
No immediate projects were announced, but we certainly look forward to the fruits of this new friendship.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
