Built Games

Built Games, LLC is an independent video game developer and publisher founded in December 8, 2014 by Michael Pagano Doom, and is based in Los Angeles, California.

The company gained notoriety when their first mobile game, Little Dictator, was released in February, 2015. When it was initially submitted, Apple rejected it due to its controversial subject matter and the way the game poked fun at North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un.
