About Us

Our Mission

At Merola Games, our mission is to create fun, engaging games that players genuinely enjoy. We reject modern industry practices like loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics, focusing instead on delivering a pure high quality and rewarding gaming experience. Our games are built around skill, creativity, and player satisfaction. As we grow, we strive to push boundaries and develop new, exciting experiences that stand out in today’s gaming landscape.

Our Founder

Merola Games was founded by Merino Merola, a computer science major and student-athlete at Lake Forest College in Illinois. His interest in game development began at a young age, experimenting with creating games and steadily improving his skills over time. That passion eventually led to the development of his own titles, including Penguin Bounce. Following its release, he established Merola Enterprises as the parent company of Merola Games, marking the start of Merola Games.

Our Goals

At Merola Games, we are constantly working toward clear and ambitious goals. Our current focus is on two key priorities: developing a successful mobile title that builds brand recognition, and bringing a game to market on console platforms. As we grow, we plan to expand our team by hiring talented developers and artists, while establishing strong partnerships with publishers across mobile and console spaces. In the long term, our goal is to evolve into a publisher ourselves, supporting and helping bring new games to market.
