Kiloo Games (commonly abbreviated as Kiloo and stylized in uppercase in its logo) is a Danish video game developer. It was founded in 2000 by Jacob Møller,[2] with a focus on developing entertainment content for game console and handheld devices. In 2008, he was joined by his brother, Simon Møller. Together, they both ran Kiloo until it closed down in 2023.
Kiloo's best known game, Subway Surfers, was released in the spring of 2012 and was developed in cooperation with SYBO Games. A few weeks after its release, the free running game for iOS was named Game of the Week for 31 May 2012 by AppAdvice.[3] In September, the game made its way to Android and gathered even more enthusiastic players.[4] One month after the Android release, Subway Surfers made it into the top 20 growing Facebook apps by monthly active users.[5] In July 2014, the game exceeded five hundred million downloads across all platforms. In September 2015, the download numbers reached 1 billion.[6]
