The critically acclaimed Dark Nebula series has been acquired by Swedish game developer Free Lunch Design. The games have been downloaded over 6 million times on iOS devices.
– With a huge fan base and great expectations for new episodes, it was incredibly important for me to find a buyer in which I had 100% confidence regarding creativity, says Anders Hejdenberg, creator of Dark Nebula.

The games have been praised for a uniquely immersive game experience, within a classical labyrinth style game play. Dark Nebula 2 boasts a Metacritic score of 93 out of 100. The game is featured by Apple in their exclusive Hall of Fame, containing 75 of their favourite apps.
– We regard this as a vote of confidence. We love the game and feel privileged to carry on the legacy created by Anders. More info about the future of the series will be released shortly, says Magnus Alm, CEO of Free Lunch Design.

To celebrate the occasion Dark Nebula 1 will be free and Dark Nebula 2 will be sold at half the price, during the weekend of Friday the 9th of March until Sunday the 11th of March.

Sweden’s second largest social game developer, Muskedunder Interactive, has today officially changed its name to Free Lunch Design.
– With more players than the whole of Sweden’s population, we want a name that reflects our global presence, says CEO Magnus Alm.

Muskedunder acquired the indie game developer Free Lunch Design In 2007 and has since then expanded the reach of the flagship title “Icy Tower” to millions of new players. The game has been download 25 million times and played by over 11 million people on Facebook, with over 3 million likes.
– Our new company name is trademark protected globally and works better internationally. Changing to Free Lunch Design feels like a natural step, due to its close connection with our largest game title.

The name change also signifies a shift in business focus, from contracted game development to self publishing own titles. Free Lunch Design has 8 employees in Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest city.

For us, it is all about the creativity, the passion and the freedom to make the games that we would love to play ourselves. Either if you are an old fan or new aquaintance, we hope you’d like to come along for the ride.

Sincerely,

All of us at Free Lunch Design
