Astraware is one of the oldest companies in the handheld gaming industry, with a history dating back to the 1990s. They specialize in creating a wide range of games, including arcade, puzzle, and strategy games. Astraware has also been at the forefront of the casual gaming trend since its inception.

Their team consists of experienced professionals like David Oakley, an expert in technology and graphic design, and Howard Tomlinson, who excels in game design and puzzle development. Astraware focuses on developing games that people love to play. They not only design and fund their own games but also collaborate with other companies for contract development and commissioned work.

They have a strong track record of licensing intellectual property (IP) to create handheld versions of popular games. Additionally, Astraware publishes games and software on behalf of other developers. To generate revenue, Astraware primarily relies on in-app purchases within their games, offering extra features, puzzle packs, and an ad-free experience through their Puzzles Plus subscription.

They also provide free puzzles with advertisements or other sponsored items to earn in-game credits. Although they strive to support a wide range of devices, their current focus is on developing games with regular daily content that can be enjoyed for free, with the option to remove ads or access additional content. As a UK-based privately owned limited company, Astraware is known for its trademark logo and is committed to providing a great gaming experience for their loyal and mature audience
