Streamplay Studio (ASX:SP8) has expanded its gaming publishing pipeline through its Wholly Owned Subsidiary Noodlecake Studios, signing a publishing agreement for new title Monkey Brain while preparing the mobile release of existing title Flick Shot Rogues.

The latest agreement extends Noodlecake’s relationship with German independent developer Butter By The Fish, following their previous collaboration on Flick Shot Rogues, which launched on Steam in 2025.

Streamplay shares were trading at AUD 0.0080, up 14.29%, or AUD 0.0010, during the afternoon trading session on 24 August 2026. The stock remained down 20.00%, or AUD 0.0020, over the past year.

Streamplay owns North America-based Noodlecake Studios, an independent game publisher involved in original intellectual property development and publishing partnerships. Noodlecake has published more than 60 titles across mobile, PC and other platforms.

Monkey Brain Adds New Title to Noodlecake Pipeline

The new publishing agreement covers Monkey Brain, a physics-based roguelike currently being developed by Butter By The Fish.

The title builds on the existing relationship between Noodlecake and the development team behind Flick Shot Rogues.

Monkey Brain combines physics-driven gameplay with roguelike progression mechanics. Players launch “Thoughts” through a monkey’s brain, using combinations between Brain Cells while collecting and upgrading Thoughts and Items throughout gameplay sessions.

The game is designed around shorter gameplay sessions, repeated runs and progression through experimentation.

Unlike larger multi-year publishing projects, Streamplay said Monkey Brain has a comparatively shorter production cycle, allowing it to complement Noodlecake’s broader portfolio of premium PC and console titles.

The game is currently in development for PC, with its Steam storefront page and wishlist trailer now available.

Release is targeted before the end of calendar year 2026, subject to development progress and final scheduling.

Flick Shot Rogues Expands Beyond PC

Alongside the Monkey Brain announcement, Noodlecake has continued expanding Flick Shot Rogues beyond its original PC launch.

The title is now available for pre-order on the Apple App Store and pre-registration on Google Play ahead of its planned mobile release.

The mobile version has been adapted for touchscreen gameplay while retaining the core systems from the original PC version.

The game will use a try-before-you-buy model, allowing players to access the opening section before unlocking the full title through a one-time in-app purchase.

Flick Shot Rogues is scheduled to launch on iOS and Android on 16 September 2026.

The mobile expansion forms part of Noodlecake’s broader approach of extending titles across multiple platforms.

Publishing Model Provides Revenue Participation Opportunity

The Monkey Brain agreement follows Noodlecake’s established publishing framework.

Under the arrangement, Noodlecake will provide agreed development and publishing support while recovering its Investment and associated costs before moving into ongoing revenue participation with the developer.

Streamplay said this recoupment-first structure is designed to reduce the company’s upfront exposure while maintaining potential participation in longer-term title performance.

However, the company noted that revenue outcomes cannot currently be reliably estimated.

Future financial contribution from the title will depend on factors including development progress, release timing, platform performance, pricing, user adoption and future distribution arrangements.

Any material financial contribution will be reflected through Streamplay’s ordinary financial reporting where applicable.

Noodlecake Continues Developer Partnership Strategy

The Monkey Brain agreement reinforces Noodlecake’s approach of building longer-term relationships with independent game developers.

The partnership with Butter By The Fish began through Flick Shot Rogues and has now expanded into a second original title.

Noodlecake CEO Ryan Holowaty said the company had a positive experience working with Butter By The Fish on Flick Shot Rogues and viewed Monkey Brain as another opportunity to collaborate.

He described the title as a project that aligned with Noodlecake’s publishing approach.

Broader Publishing Pipeline Expands Across Platforms

The latest announcement follows other publishing agreements announced by Streamplay, including Tiebreakers and Project DS.

Those projects involve larger-scale development programs across PC and console platforms.

Together with Monkey Brain and the mobile expansion of Flick Shot Rogues, the company is continuing to build a portfolio across different game categories and platforms.

Streamplay’s strategy centres on combining game development and publishing capabilities through Noodlecake while expanding its presence across mobile, PC and console markets.

What Investors May Be Watching

Streamplay’s latest update adds another title to Noodlecake’s publishing pipeline while extending an existing developer relationship.

The near-term milestones include continued development progress for Monkey Brain, the planned September 2026 mobile release of Flick Shot Rogues and future updates on additional publishing projects.

Investors may also monitor how Noodlecake’s publishing framework converts new titles into Recurring Revenue opportunities over time.

While the agreement provides exposure to future commercial outcomes, Streamplay has highlighted that revenue timing and scale will depend on development completion, platform performance, player adoption and distribution factors.
