Frequenty Asked Questions

What is Spel Mobile Software?

We are a small mobile development company based out of Wisconsin. Our goal is to make fun and interesting apps for the Android platform. See the About page for more information.

Where can I find these apps of which you speak?

All of our apps are available via Google Play under the name Spel Mobile Software. You can get more information about the apps themselves on the Apps page.

What exactly is "Spel" supposed to mean?

Spel, pronounced "Speel", is the Swedish word for game. One of the cofounder's grandmothers, a second-generation Swedish-American, owned a Macintosh LC III back when and kept such games as Spacestation Pheta and Slime Invaders in a folder called Spel as a lighthearted nod to her heritage. Years later, it seemed a good name for a mobile game company, so we co-opted it for that purpose.

What is that weird red thing next to the logo?

That is Speley Dan, resident mascot of Spel Mobile Software. He is a simplistic rendering of a betta fish, originally conceived using a recursive series of right-angles collapsing inward (note the position of the front of his head, his back, and his eye). His name has no specific significance but is a nod to both our company and to the popular rock band Steely Dan.

When can we expect to see more updates with regards to Spel development?

We put up a news post once a week on the main page, every Tuesday. Previous news posts can be found on the News page.
