In 2004, David Hamilton and Barry Petrie founded Digital Goldfish with the goal of developing mobile games targeting the female market.[1] In 2005, they released their first game for Java phones called Babygrow, which required a purchase at an unknown price. They subsequently worked on a new version that was never released.[2]
In March 2009, Ninja Kiwi announced that Digital Goldfish will work on porting the iOS version of Bloons, Digital Goldfish's first Ninja Kiwi-related game.[3] They then continued working numerous other iPhone titles, many of which were iPhone or iPad versions of existing Ninja Kiwi games. After years of making mobile versions of Ninja Kiwi games, Ninja Kiwi purchased Digital Goldfish for an undisclosed sum in 2012.[4] Following this, they were rebranded as Ninja Kiwi Europe instead of Digital Goldfish.
