Life can be stressful, and we believe everyone deserves a moment of pure enjoyment and escapism. At LolTap, we build mobile games that are instantly accessible, yet designed to stay engaging over time; bridging the gap between the depth and feature richness of casual and midcore games and the fast, agile iteration cycles that made hyper-casual so effective.
Our flagship title, Color Wood Jam, embodies this philosophy: a smooth, satisfying core that’s easy to pick up, paired with the long-term progression, variety, and polish that keeps players coming back. 
Over the years, we’ve developed a wide catalog of fun and juicy mobile experiences across genres, from idle to arcade, and worked alongside market-leading publishers to sharpen our craft, scale production, and reach a worldwide audience. That chapter helped shape who we are today.
Now, we’re building toward the next stage: greater independence and a stronger self-publishing approach. With a skilled team, robust toolchains, and proven iteration processes, we’re focused on creating innovative, high-quality games with both speed and depth, delivering player-first experiences we can fully grow, and evolve for the long term.
Pickled strawberries sound like a contradiction—berries belong in dessert, pickles belong on sandwiches—but that surprise is exactly their charm. A quick soak in a sweet-tart brine transforms ripe strawberries into something brighter, punchier, and more complex, without erasing their perfume. The fruit stays blush-red and tender, but the flavor shifts: sweetness sharpened by vinegar, softened again by sugar, and lifted by whatever aromatics you choose—peppercorns for bite, basil for green freshness, or a strip of lemon peel for a clean, sunny edge.
What makes pickled strawberries so interesting is the way they behave like a condiment rather than a fruit topping. They can cut through richness like a squeeze of citrus, yet still read as unmistakably strawberry. You can scatter them over vanilla ice cream, spoon them onto cheesecake, or tuck them into a grilled cheese with brie. They also shine in savory dishes: a few slices on a salad with bitter greens and nuts, or alongside roasted pork where their acidity works like a built-in sauce. Even better, the leftover brine becomes a ready-made strawberry vinegar—perfect for vinaigrettes, spritzers, and cocktails.
The technique is forgiving: you’re not canning, just quick-pickling. The goal is to balance sweet and sharp and to give the berries enough time to absorb the brine without turning mushy. For a first batch, pick strawberries that are ripe but still firm. Slice big ones in half, leave small ones whole, and let them chill in the brine at least a few hours—overnight is ideal. By the next day they’ll taste like the best version of themselves: familiar, but more vivid, almost sparkling.
But here’s the truth we’ve learned—and the hill we’ll gladly die on:
Mastering pickled strawberries is the key to making juicy games.
Because pickling is not about preserving fruit. It’s about engineering delight. It’s about taking something already good and pushing it into that rare zone where it becomes more than the sum of its ingredients: sharper, brighter, more addictive, more memorable. That’s exactly what “juicy” game feel is. The brine is your feedback. The crunch is your responsiveness. The aroma is your polish. The aftertaste is your retention.
And if you want consistently extraordinary pickled strawberries—if you want strawberries that pop, shimmer, and make people reach for one more—you don’t just “follow a recipe.” You build a system.
That system is our obsession.
We believe the difference between an okay jar and a legendary jar is never an accident. It’s a chain of intentional decisions, repeated relentlessly, improved continuously, and protected culturally. So we treat pickled strawberry mastery as a craft and a discipline, and we optimize it at every level—from culture to picking, from jar sterilization to the final seal—because every weak link dulls the flavor. Every shortcut makes the fruit softer, the brine flatter, the magic less repeatable.
We optimize the process like a studio optimizes game feel.
Culture comes first. We cultivate a mindset where “pretty good” is the enemy of “irresistible.” Where everyone cares about the snap, the shine, the immediate pleasure of the bite. We celebrate the smallest improvements, because the smallest improvements are what compound into masterpieces. We taste constantly. We share notes. We never stop refining.
Then comes selection—the strawberry draft. Not every berry deserves the jar. We choose fruit that is ripe, fragrant, and resilient. Too soft and it collapses. Too green and it refuses the brine. We believe that excellence starts before the first ingredient is measured, before the first feature is built. It starts with what you decide is worthy of your time.
Next is sterilization—the unseen ritual, the silent guarantee of quality. The jar is your platform. Your toolchain. Your baseline stability. You don’t get brilliance if you don’t get cleanliness. You don’t get consistent flavor if your foundation is compromised. Sterilization isn’t a chore; it’s respect. It’s the promise that nothing accidental will contaminate what you are trying to craft.
Then the brine—the heart of the system. Balance is everything. Too much vinegar and the strawberry becomes nervous, sharp, defensive. Too much sugar and it becomes cloying, lazy, dull. Salt is the hidden lever. Aromatics are the signature. The brine is where artistry meets science. It is the moment where you decide what you stand for: bright and daring, or smooth and comforting, or something that lives in the tension between both.
And finally, time—the most underestimated ingredient. The brine needs to seep in. The flavors need to meet, argue, reconcile, and become one. You can rush it, sure. But you’ll taste the impatience. And that’s why we don’t just make jars—we design timelines. We define what “ready” means. We measure it. We refine it. We protect it.
This is our manifesto:
we will pursue the perfect pickled strawberry with the same intensity we pursue the perfect juicy game.
We will optimize the process end-to-end until delight is no longer a lucky outcome, but a predictable result.
Because when you get it right—when the jar opens and the aroma rises, when the berry hits your tongue and everything snaps into focus—you don’t just taste a strawberry.
You taste craft.
You taste iteration.
You taste obsession.
This is our commitment. This is our ambition.
