Kiloo is a Danish games development company headquartered in the central part of Aarhus, Denmark. Kiloo was founded in 2000 by the current CEO Jacob Møller, with a focus on developing wireless entertainment content for mobile phones and handheld devices. In 2008, he was joined by his brother, Simon Møller, together with whom he now fully owns and runs Kiloo A/S. Kiloo's best known game, Subway Surfers, was released in the spring of 2012 and was developed in cooperation with SYBO Games. A few weeks after its release, the free running game for iOS was named Game of the Week for 31 May 2012 by AppAdvice. In September, the game made its way to Android and gathered even more enthusiastic players. One month after the Android release, Subway Surfers made it into the top 20 growing Facebook apps by monthly active users. In July 2014, Subway Surfers exceeded five hundred million downloads across all platforms. ==History== Kiloo was founded in 2000, in a small apartment in Aarhus, Denmark, as a two-person company. In 2002, the partnership dissolved and Kiloo changed into a private company. In the same year, Kiloo won the Nokia Mobile Challenge in the games category ahead of 500 competing companies, with their game ''Popstar'' build on a ''Tamagotchi'' like concept of managing the career and basic needs of an upcoming pop music star. Later on, Kiloo entered an agreement with THQ Wireless to develop the game Worms for mobile.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ign.com/games/worms/cell-684312# )〕 Kiloo also cooperated with ITE on development and distribution of mobile content based on the TV and game character Hugo. By 2004, the Hugo games were bought by 1 million people. Between 2006 and 2009, Kiloo had the exclusive mobile rights for LEGO worldwide. In 2007, Kiloo broke into Børsen’s "Fast Track 100" which placed Kiloo in the league of Denmark’s fastest growing private companies. In the same year, Kiloo acquired the exclusive rights for Whac-a-Mole worldwide with reference to developing and selling Whac-a-Mole mobile content. In 2008 Kiloo raised capital from Danish VC FirmaInvest for further growth. In 2009 Kiloo licensed the full suite of Wham-O rights for mobile (HackySack, SuperBall, Frisbee and Hula Hoop), which so far has resulted in Frisbee Forever and Frisbee Forever 2. 2011 saw Kiloo launch two games (Frisbee Forever and Bullet Time HD) and numerous apps.
