A 6 employee game developer that is developing an, apparently popular, iphone app/game.

The game they made, paper toss, perhaps is notable (it has a page of its own, along with some forks, which are of questionable notability), but that doesn't inherit to the parent company.

The news search reveals 2 sources in the past month, both of which talk about the game. Lots of social networking presence for the company, but not a lot of third party rs links. Shadowjams (talk) 05:06, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

:*Post those links because my google search showed a bunch of promotional marketing by the company, and then 2 google news hits, that I mention above. Shadowjams (talk) 05:42, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

The company is certainly noteable. If you need more links, I can find more. --NerdyScienceDude :) (click here to talk to me) 14:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep of the links supplied by Nerdy above, [http://venturebeat.com/2009/11/23/backflip-shows-how-indie-developers-can-create-multiple-hit-iphone-games/ this Venture Beat interview/piece] and [http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Harbor+Havoc+3D/news.asp?c=15990 this Pocket Gamer interview] cover WP:N IMO. There's also [http://www.pocketgamer.biz/r/PG.Biz/Backflip+Studios+news/news.asp?c=17295 this 'new year' interview on Pocket Gamer]. Should be OK. Someoneanother 17:31, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep the article is pitiful, but it stands to reason that a publisher with multiple notable games is itself notable. That said, I'd probably vote to delete or merge if it isn't fixed within a reasonable amount of time. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep Yes the article is fairly poor but the developer is notable and has a lot of reliable sources to back it up. ISmashed TALK! 16:26, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
