Toca Boca has reduced its workforce, though the exact number of affected employees remains undisclosed

Toca Boca, based in Stockholm, has recently initiated a round of layoffs, although the total number of impacted staff remains undisclosed.

Affected employees have reported their redundancies on LinkedIn, spanning various roles such as art, quality assurance, design, and development.

GamesIndustry.biz has inquired with the company to determine the scale of the workforce reduction.

Andrew Brierly Chramer, a former game designer, mentioned the layoffs resulted from "project changes and cost-savings".

"Leaving such a valued team is difficult, but I am proud of our accomplishments and grateful for the knowledge gained," he remarked.

Kim Aava, previously an art director, expressed similar feelings: "Departing from an inspiring and kind team is challenging, yet I am proud of our collaborative achievements."

Other impacted team members include artist Gabriel Flamm and embedded QA Bathilde de La Chapelle.

According to PocketGamer, Spin Master, Toca Boca's parent company, decided to close down Nørdlight, the studio behind the mobile game Rubik's Match.

This decision was attributed to "high costs of acquiring new users and the game's lower than anticipated returns," as reported by the publication.
