Independent product studio — Istanbul

Independent by design. Built in Istanbul. Kept on screens.

Cenkle Digital is an independent studio for our own apps and games. No client briefs, no pitch theatre — just products we make, run, refine and keep alive.

Our products

The products we run.

Every product here is owned and operated by Cenkle Digital — imagined inside, built in-house, shipped to the stores and looked after long after launch.

Chapter 01
Social · iOS & Android

Elele

Our real-chat app for meeting new people and building genuine connections. We shaped Elele from the first flow to the live app — messaging, discovery and the small touches that make a new conversation feel warm instead of awkward.

Game · iOS & Android

Tapstice

Our timing-based arcade game built around one mechanic: tap at the perfect moment. We built the feel, the combo system, eight game modes and the global leaderboards that turn a few seconds into a months-long chase.

The studio

A small team that builds what it wants to use.

Cenkle Digital started with a simple idea: instead of making things to someone else’s brief, make the products we wish existed — and live with the results.

Elele grew out of wanting conversations that feel real, not transactional. Tapstice came from a love of arcade games you can master in seconds and chase for months. Running both ourselves means every decision is ours to get right.

We are small on purpose. Strategy, design and engineering sit in one room, so an idea can go from a morning sketch to something tappable by night — and stay ours from start to finish.

What goes in

Where the taste lives.

Not a service menu. A record of what we refuse to leave average in our own products.

01

Design & feel

Interfaces that feel obvious and a little bit alive. We sweat motion, timing and the details people can not name.

02

Engineering

Native-quality iOS and Android, real-time features and games that stay smooth under load.

03

Play & retention

We design for the second session, not just the first — loops, rewards and real reasons to come back.

04

The long game

We keep our products alive with new seasons, fixes and ideas, long after launch day.
