What Oxygen does

Oxygen S.A. is a Polish gaming capital group publicly listed on the NewConnect alternative market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange (ticker: OXY). Originally incorporated in 2005 as Smoke Shop Sp. z o.o. for tobacco retail, the entity underwent multiple name changes (Exchange Invest S.A. in 2016, Premium Fund S.A. in 2017, Oxygen S.A. in November 2019) and a strategic pivot to gaming in 2020. The group now operates three wholly-owned subsidiaries — Mousetrap Games sp. z o.o., HyperCat sp. z o.o. (formerly Glass Cannon Games), and Block Dog — focused on mobile game development and publishing for Android, iOS, and selectively PC (via Daedalic) and Nintendo Switch. Edward Mężyk serves as CEO, and the registered office is in Wrocław, Poland.

The company's core business is producing and publishing a high-volume catalog of mobile games across hyper-casual, casual, mid-core, and premium categories, using a data-driven product-led growth model. Titles are soft-launched to collect player retention and LTV data; Oxygen applies a roughly 20% day-1 retention threshold (30%+ considered very promising) to select titles for global launch. Between 2020 and 2022 the group released over 50 mobile games (15 in 2020, 17 in 2021, 20 in 2022), with named titles including Green Thumb (gardening simulator with procedurally generated 3D plant models), Sword of Glory (RPG), Cards Up! (logic game), Bee Merge (hexagonal puzzle, co-developed with War Bear Games), Jars (tower defense, Gamescom 2019 recognized), and the in-development NFT-based CryptoDino with Dinolabs. From February 2023, the group entered the second stage of its 2020–2025 strategy with a narrower focus on three priority titles and Web 3.0 expansion.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: freemium publishing of its own and partner titles, premium one-time license sales (e.g., Jars), publishing/distribution fees with revenue-share or fixed-fee arrangements (Voodoo, Ketchapp/Ubisoft, Daedalic), and Web3/NFT licensing. Marketing is community-driven via Discord, the recurring Hyper Challenge developer competition, email newsletters, and earned gaming media coverage. The company has no disclosed revenue figures, has raised over 1.5 million PLN through equity crowdfunding (2020), and operates under the Beskidzkie Biuro Consultingowe Sp. z o.o. as its authorized NewConnect advisor.

Direct peers

• BoomBit: Polish mobile game developer and publisher listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Closest publicly traded domestic comparable — same Polish footprint, mobile/Apple/Google distribution, and listed-market capital access constraints.
• Ketchapp: Mobile game publisher owned by Ubisoft and one of Oxygen's named partners. Overlaps on hyper-casual/casual publishing, global distribution, and platform-store relationships that Oxygen relies on.
• Huuuge Games: Polish mobile social casino and casual game publisher. Same Polish/Polish-listed heritage, similar mobile-game publishing business model, and Polish talent pool overlap as Oxygen Group.
• Vivid Games: Polish mobile game developer (e.g., Real Boxing). Domestic listed comparable with overlapping mobile-game portfolio strategy and similar access to Polish talent and EU distribution.
• Daedalic Entertainment: German publisher and a named Oxygen partner for Jars on PC and Nintendo Switch. Comparable role as both publisher and competitor for premium indie titles across platforms.
• All in! Games: Polish video-game publisher and developer. Same Warsaw-listed gaming exposure, similar mid-market capitalization profile, and overlapping publishing-for-external-studios model.
• Voodoo: Paris-based publisher and a dominant force in hyper-casual mobile gaming. Direct competitor to Oxygen in hyper-casual publishing, and simultaneously a named distribution partner — providing a relevant benchmark for both competitive and partner-economics analysis.
• War Bear Games: Polish mobile game studio and explicit co-development partner with Mousetrap Games (Bee Merge). Closest size-matched strategic partner that both competes and collaborates with Oxygen Group.

Broad incumbents

• Zynga: Major mobile/social game publisher (now part of Take-Two). Provides a portfolio-publisher benchmark relevant to Oxygen's mobile-game publishing and freemium/transactional monetization approach.
• Playrix: One of the largest casual/mid-core mobile game publishers globally (Homescapes, Gardenscapes). Demonstrates the scale benchmark and portfolio breadth Oxygen aspires to via its strategy stage-2 priority titles.
