Its lead designer is Safal Kapoor, who later joined EA Games and is currently working with Miniclip Games as Head of design.

The game studio Wandake, which also developed the Robokill series, was part of the Indian tech company Sourcebits Digital[2] and was acquired by the American company Ascendum in 2017.[3]
One of the game's inspirations is the Metal Slug series, with similarities in its setting, combat style, and controls.[4][5]
