Loom Games 赌注：20人团队能否跻身美国收入榜前20；Scopely 支付10亿美元

做的是什么生意

Loom Games is an Istanbul mobile-game studio whose debut hybrid-casual puzzler, Pixel Flow, sends colored balls from pigs onto matching pixel blocks to clear boards; the game monetizes through IAP and ads.

启动资金：$2M seed in Jan 2026 at a $36M valuation from Arcadia Gaming Partners' Akin Babayigit and early-stage fund e2vc; Scopely's majority-stake deal in Feb 2026 valued Loom at over $1B, under 60 days after the seed closed.

起因

CEO Kübra Gündoğan and CTO Emre Çelik first co-founded Istanbul indie studio Crescive Games in 2019, where they spent six years building more than 70 prototypes before Loom Games was founded in 2025. Their previous hybrid-casual puzzler, Twisted Tangle, was published by Rollic Games and passed 10 million downloads within two months of launch, validating their prototype-driven method.

经过

Pixel Flow launched in August 2025 and scaled fast: it surpassed 10 million players and hit roughly $2M in daily revenue within months, backed by a debt-financed user-acquisition loop after the team verified the game's return on ad spend. In January 2026 the studio raised a $2M seed at a $36M valuation; weeks later, on 2026-02-18, Scopely announced a majority-stake acquisition with a multi-year, performance-based structure valuing Loom above $1B — making it Türkiye's seventh gaming unicorn and one of the fastest seed-to-unicorn leaps in gaming. The founders stayed on to lead the ~20-person studio.

结果

Still scaling as of 2026-09-02: under Scopely majority ownership, Loom Games kept its team and roadmap in Istanbul, and Pixel Flow won Game of the Year plus three other awards at the Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards 2026 on 2026-08-25, with AppMagic estimating roughly $200M in first-year gross player spending.

可借鉴之处

系统化、高容量的原型制作可以发现一个令人着迷的机制，值得围绕它重建整个游戏——一旦单位经济效益得到验证，快速战略出售可能比缓慢稀释股权更好。
