Niko was a fast paced platform game created by Sulake. It was first available on iOS devices in January 2012, later being made available for Android devices in June 2012. Sulake CEO discusses Niko, Habbo Hotel and the drive to move audiences across platforms. By playing Niko, players were able to put their brain to the test, trying to figure out brain-teasing levels to rescue the title characters' friends who had been captured, and defeating bosses on the last level. There were five main characters on the game, the lead being the titular character Niko. The other four characters were kept in captivity; it was the players' aim to rescue these characters.
