Challenges & Goals
KAYAC Inc. had a successful mobile game and wanted to capitalize on its popularity by porting it to Facebook. However, the existing game was developed in Unity, which was not suitable for the Facebook platform they were targeting. They needed a reliable partner to recreate the game in PlayCanvas and ensure it delivered the same high-quality experience to the Facebook audience.
