▸ Sharx Games — Est. 2026 · Pune, India
We build games that hit like your favourite movies — unforgettable, emotional, impossible to put down. Based in Pune, built for the world.
Who We Are
Sharx Games is a Pune-based studio founded by Akshada Gopale. We believe the best games don't just entertain — they stay with you. They make you question things. They hit you in the chest when you least expect it.
We're building across mobile and PC — fun, addictive mobile titles that reach everyone, and deep cinematic PC experiences that rival the greatest films ever made.
Think The Last of Us. Detroit: Become Human. Heavy Rain. That level of emotional storytelling — that's our benchmark.
What We Stand For
Every game we ship starts with a story worth telling. Mechanics serve narrative. Always. We write characters that feel like people you've actually met — and lost.
The best movies have moments that stop you cold. We design for those moments. Plot twists, emotional gut-punches, choices that haunt you — that's the Sharx signature.
We don't chase trends. We build games people talk about years later. Quality over quantity, always. One game done right beats ten games done fast.

Tap Cricket · Sudoku+ · Sniper Strike — three titles for India and the world.

Game World
We are storytellers first, game developers second. Based in Pune, building games that move people.
Our Story
Sharx Games was founded by Akshada Gopale with one belief: games can move people the way great films do. We saw a gap — too many games chase mechanics and trends, too few chase meaning.
Based in Pune, Maharashtra, we started with one idea, one studio, and the ambition of a hundred. We're building three mobile games and two PC experiences that challenge what games can be emotionally.
Every story we tell will have a moment that stops you cold. That's the Sharx promise.
Our Values
We believe a great story can make any mechanic feel meaningful. We start with the story and build everything else around it.
We don't talk down to our audience. We make games that respect player intelligence and reward emotional investment.
We would rather ship one unforgettable game than ten forgettable ones. We take the time it takes to make something great.
Great games come from great teams. We invest in people, protect creative energy, and build a culture where bold ideas are welcome.
3 mobile games. 2 PC experiences. One standard — every game must make you feel something you didn't expect.
