Tower Pop is a mobile game development company based in Porvoo, Finland, founded in 2020. The company specializes in the tower defense genre and was established by industry veterans and cousins, Fredrik and Niklas Wahrman. The founders previously created TicBits, a mobile game studio acquired by Animoca Brands in 2016, where they led the development of successful tower defense games like "Crazy Kings" and "Crazy Defense Heroes".
The company's primary product is "Omega Royale," a multiplayer battle royale tower defense game. This game introduces a strategic layer where up to ten players not only defend against waves of enemies but also send attacks against their human opponents. Tower Pop aims to innovate the genre by incorporating Web3 and blockchain elements, allowing players to potentially sell and trade in-game items. The business model is venture capital-backed, having secured $2.19 million in an early-stage VC funding round in April 2022 from investors including Play Ventures and Agnitio Capital.
