MyTona was technically founded in 2012, but its chief executive and chief operational officer, Alexey Ushnisky, began developing games more than ten years prior. Growing up close to Yakutsk, they used their Super Nintendo to play games like Mortal Kombat. Since the weather may drop to 60 below zero where they brought up, it was strongly advised that they play inside. The business started off as a tiny independent studio dedicated to creating casual games for desktop and mobile platforms. It first produced a number of well-liked games, such as Toy Defense and Merry Days Farm.
