Halfbrick Studios Pty Ltd (commonly referred to as simply Halfbrick) is an Australian video game developer based in Brisbane. The company was founded in 2001 by six people in a basement in Brisbane, Australia, and primarily worked on licensed games until 2008. They released the highly-acclaimed Fruit Ninja (2010) and Jetpack Joyride (2011).

Outside their Brisbane headquarters, Halfbrick opened five offices in Sydney, Adelaide, Spain, Bulgaria, and Los Angeles.[1] In March 2012, Halfbrick Studios acquired Onan Games for an undisclosed price to make use of their software Mandreel, which allows games to support iOS, Android, Adobe Flash and HTML5 development.[2]

By 2015, Fruit Ninja has been downloaded over 1 billion times.[3]
