Publisher List for Mobile Game Developer
I want to share with beginners and continuing developers of mobile games list of publishers, which is in the process of their own searches.
Some lyrics. I am a developer of mobile games. With the help of a small indie team we are developing a small, rather hardcore game in the style of "two locks" for mobile phones. A couple of months ago, we did get to the point where it was necessary to determine the choice of publisher.
At this stage, I had to spend a lot of time sifting existing lists and sites , making the most comprehensive list. I want to share my best practices with beginners and continuing developers of mobile games. I hope this will be useful to someone.
A few words about how we organized the search for the publisher. Letters with proposals were sent in two stages - first, at the level of the alpha version, testing those who might in principle be interested. Then, after a couple of months, having reached the beta version, we conducted another “round” of the newsletter, looking for specific proposals. The strategy yielded certain results, we managed a suitable publisher, with whom we are currently working. So far so good.

In order to make it easier to navigate the list, I assigned a rating to each company. Immediately I warn you - this is a purely subjective mark! Also included in the list are companies that are not publishers, but which makes sense to write. All additional information is summarized in the comments.
Good luck to everyone in search of your dream publisher!
