Fingersoft

[1] Fingersoft is one of the most northern game studios in the world, located just 170km south of the Arctic Circle.

In late 2011 Toni Fingerroos had to make a choice between job hunting and establishing his own business, since all funds reserved for the development of a new game for Sony PlayStation had been spent.

[4] In February 2012 he published the Cartoon Camera app, which allowed users to edit their photos to look like sketches or drawings.

[5] The Hill Climb Racing game published in September 2012[6] was born out of testing physics.

[5] The graphics for the game were made in Fingerroos's circle of acquaintances on a freelance basis, but he did the coding entirely on his own[7] working on it 16 hours a day for a couple of months.

[12] In the early days the company's office was a detached house with a Jacuzzi and a pool room.

[1] By the year 2018, games published by Fingersoft had been globally downloaded more than one billion times in total.

[21] Celine Pasula started as the CEO in late 2019 but was soon succeeded by Jaakko Kylmäoja in February of 2021.

[1] Fingersoft operates in downtown Oulu on a campus, where it has also collected other local game studios.

The sum took into account the original game, its sequel, and a special version made for China.
