Street Lamp Games

What Street Lamp Games does

Street Lamp Games is an Indian independent game development studio headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, with origins as a small, low-capital team based in Guntur. Founded and led by CEO Deepak Gurijala, the studio describes itself as a close-knit team of designers focused on building world-class games. Its commercial focus is hyper-casual and mid-core mobile gaming, with selected presence on PC via Steam.

The studio's portfolio centers on three product lines. The flagship is Bombarika, a physics-based puzzle game in which players push a bomb out of a house using inanimate objects such as sofas and shelves; the game features a low-poly art style, multiple levels, grenades, and power-ups. The second product is Cubots: The Origins, an action-adventure puzzle game in which a CUBOT must transport a cube past obstacles including bombs, arrows, and fire, available as a paid Steam title. The third is a category of lightweight, minimalistic hyper-casual games targeted at the 'On the Go Generation.' The technology base relies on conventional physics-engine-driven gameplay and low-poly 3D art rather than proprietary frameworks; no AI, ML, or data-platform capabilities are disclosed.

Street Lamp Games operates a freemium mobile revenue model for Bombarika and hyper-casual titles distributed through Apple's App Store and Google Play, and a one-time purchase model for Cubots on Steam. Distribution is amplified by a publishing partnership with Cheetah Mobiles for Bombarika, which delivered global App Store featuring and 'Game of the Day' placement across 120+ countries. The studio is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding and sells directly to individual consumers globally, with primary segment being mobile gamers seeking short-session entertainment.
