One Rule Games, a fresh studio out of Montpellier, France, just closed their seed funding round to build hybridcasual titles that mix quick casual fun with deeper engagement mechanics.
They’re gearing up for launches this year, led by ex-Voodoo GM Alexander Willink and a team of vets from Voodoo and Homa who’ve shipped massive hits like Paper.io, Crowd City, Hole.io, and All in Hole.
The round was led by Griffin Gaming Partners, with backing from sharp angels like Simon Hade, Saad Choudri, Elad Drory, Charles Chapman, Matej 🦩 Lancaric, Ed Chin, Phil Mansell, and The Games Angels.
Alexander Willink, CEO and co-founder, shared: “A huge thank you to our lead investor, Griffin Gaming Partners, and all the incredible backers who believe in our vision. With this capital, we’re accelerating our mission to create games that blend casual fun with deeper engagement for endless replayability.”
Pierre Planche, partner at Griffin Gaming Partners, added: “We’re excited to invest in One Rule Games, a leading 0–1 team in mobile gaming. The team has a rare ability to start from first principles and build with clarity, speed, and strong creative conviction. Their work also reflects the continued strength of the exceptional creative and technical talent emerging from France, and we believe they’re laying the foundation for a breakout mobile studio.”
