AndroidGame & app studio

Every hit starts with a good hand.

AppTactical is the Android studio of 4BOOKS&GAMES, LLC in Chino Hills, California. We design, build and launch casual games and apps for Google Play — and keep playing after release.

Quick answers

Do you build only for Android?

Yes. AppTactical focuses on Android phones and tablets and releases through Google Play.

Do you make games or apps?

Both. Most of our work is casual and puzzle games, and we also build Android apps for phones and tablets.

Can you take over an existing game or app?

Yes. We start with a review of the build and the store listing, then plan fixes and updates.
