MaskGun – Made in India

 

Launched in January 2019, MaskGun has over 42 million installs organically, 10 million of which are India and 30 Million+ worldwide. 

 

“MaskGun is uniquely suited for India with a 100 MB download as opposed to 1 or 2 GB that most other shooting games take. One does not have to delete 10 apps on your phone or buy a new phone just to play a high quality shooting game. Also, players will not have to keep waiting for a long time. You can get in and start playing with your friends in seconds. When people think of games made in India, they think of simple games like Ludo and Teen Patti. With MaskGun we want to show everyone that high quality games like shooters, which are really hard to build, can also be made in India,” says Roby John, Co-founder of June Gaming, the studio that makes MaskGun.
