Frontier Drift is the first mobile game I have finished in years. The offline mode got me through a fortnight of tram commutes without a single ad.
South Melbourne game studio
Handcrafted Android & iOS games with heart
NanoApexFrontier builds story-driven mobile games from our studio on Thistlethwaite Street. Every title ships on Android and iOS with cloud saves, offline play, and no forced ads.
Who we are
A small Melbourne team obsessed with big worlds
Founded in 2018, NanoApexFrontier is an eight-person independent studio in South Melbourne. We write, animate, score, and code everything in-house, then playtest weekly with players across VIC before anything reaches the App Store or Google Play.

Why players stay
Built for how people actually play on the go
True cross-platform saves
Start on your iPhone during the commute, finish on an Android tablet at home. Cloud sync keeps every checkpoint in step.
Offline-first design
Full campaigns run without a signal — perfect for the Sandringham line or a flight to Sydney. Progress syncs when you reconnect.
No forced ads, ever
We never interrupt a boss fight with a video ad. A single optional purchase removes everything cosmetic and clutter-free.
120Hz-ready performance
Our engine targets high-refresh displays on both platforms, with an adaptive mode that protects battery on older devices.
Accessible by default
Remappable controls, colour-blind palettes, adjustable text, and one-handed layouts ship with every game we release.
Weekly content drops
New quests, seasonal events, and community challenges land every Thursday at 6pm AEST across Android and iOS together.

Player reviews
Loved on both stores
I play on my iPad and my partner plays on a Pixel — our shared save just works. Emberfall looks stunning on both screens.
The Thursday content drops keep me coming back. Tidecaller co-op with mates across the country has become our weekly ritual.
