Logicnord is a sports and game app development company with 15 years of experience building mobile games and data-driven sports products. We built the Badminton Europe Manager game for the European badminton federation - a sports management game where users build teams, trade players and compete using mechanics driven by real-world player performance data. Our game development track record also includes an educational title for Penguin Books rated 4.6 with 8,000+ downloads.
Sports and gaming products share one hard requirement: retention. A game that does not bring players back tomorrow is a failed game, no matter how it looks. We design core loops, progression and live data mechanics around that daily return - and build the backend that keeps real-world data flowing into the game reliably.

Sports organizations sit on the most engaging content there is - real athletes, real results, real rivalries - yet fan engagement usually stops at a results page. Turning that data into a product people open daily requires game design, not just an app: progression, competition, collection and the feeling that this week's real matches change your game.
That is exactly what we built for Badminton Europe: a manager game where real player performance flows into gameplay, so fans engage with the sport between tournaments, not just during them. The same craft applies to branded games - mechanics that respect the brand while earning the daily open.
Every solution below is based on systems we have already shipped and operate in production - not a theoretical service list.
Full-cycle mobile game development: core loop design, progression, live content and the backend behind it - shipped for global brands.
Team building, player trading and competition mechanics driven by real-world performance data - built for a European sports federation.
Products that keep fans engaged between events: standings, predictions, collections and community mechanics.
Reliable ingestion of real sports data into game mechanics, plus balancing driven by gameplay analytics.
Games and gamified mechanics that extend brands - like the Penguin Books title rated 4.6.
Admin systems for seasons, events and content drops, so the game stays fresh without app releases.
Manager games, fan products, data-driven engagement.
Fan apps, memberships, matchday engagement.
Co-development, backend and live ops infrastructure.
Branded games and gamified campaigns.
Real-data mechanics, scoring, leaderboards.
Competition platforms and community tools.
Games and fan apps for iOS and Android, native and cross-platform.
Game backends, data pipelines and live ops systems.
Game balancing, matchmaking and engagement analytics.
Game feel, onboarding and retention-focused interfaces.
Scalable game infrastructure for tournament-day traffic.
Live game operation, seasons and content updates.
Step 1
We define the core loop, progression and data sources, and prototype the mechanic that must earn the daily open - with a clear scope and budget.
Step 2
Real-world data pipelines, accounts, leaderboards and live ops tooling are designed before polish - games fail on infrastructure, not art.
Step 3
Early builds go to real players; retention and balance are tuned on behavior data, not opinions.
Step 4
Seasons, events and content drops keep the game alive - we operate it with you after launch.

Connecting live sports data to gameplay is our proven specialty - the hardest part of sports gaming, done in production.
Badminton Europe and Penguin Books both shipped games with us - organizations that cannot afford a sloppy product.
Core loops, progression and live content are built around the daily open, because that is the only metric that keeps a game alive.
Game, backend, data pipelines and live ops tools are built together - no seams between vendors.
We build games and sports products with proven, production-ready technologies: native iOS and Android plus cross-platform frameworks for mobile games, scalable backends for accounts, leaderboards and live data, real-world data ingestion pipelines, and cloud infrastructure sized for tournament-day spikes. Logicnord is recognized on Clutch as a top AI, cloud consulting and React Native development company in Lithuania. See our full technology stack.
A focused mobile game typically starts at €40,000-80,000. A live-operated game with real-data mechanics, backend and live ops tooling usually ranges from €80,000 to €200,000+ depending on scope. We provide a free scope and budget estimate before any commitment.
A production-ready first version typically takes 4-6 months, including playtesting and balancing rounds. Live-operated games then grow through seasons and content drops.
Yes. The Badminton Europe Manager game runs on real player performance data - we build the ingestion pipelines, the scoring logic and the game mechanics on top of them.
Yes. We built a game for Penguin Books within their brand guidelines and approval processes - the title holds a 4.6 rating.
Retention is designed, not hoped for: core loop, progression, competition and live content are tuned on behavior data from playtesting and live operation.
Yes. We build live ops tooling for seasons, events and content, and operate the game together with you - a game without live operation stops growing at launch.
You do. All source code, documentation and intellectual property created during the project belong to the client. We sign an NDA before discussing project details and work under a clear IP-transfer agreement.
