BIT.TRIP Developer Gets Bigger

Gaijin Games – developer of the BIT.TRIP franchise – has acquired Robotube Games, a fellow independent studio that specializes in web-based puzzle games.

The acquisition gives Gaijin reach into some other, previously untapped areas. "Our bio-absorbtion of Robotube Games, its licenses, brands, personnel, and flavors, allows us to head in new directions that Gaijin Games was heretofore unable to pursue," said Gaijin CEO Alex Neuse. "Building up brands has always been a passion of ours, and this acquisition allows us to focus on creating more unique franchises faster than ever."

No immediate projects were announced, but we certainly look forward to the fruits of this new friendship.
