Palm Tree Games
A tiny studio making competitive sports you can play with one thumb—pickup games, real skill, and colors that feel like vacation.
- Touch-first controls
- Quick matches
- Fair live ops
Stuff we care about
Palm Tree Games started around a simple idea: sports games should feel as relaxed as a beach day, but as sharp as game seven. We obsess over frame timing, netcode that does not waste your time, and UI you can read in bright sunlight.
When we are not building, we are probably replaying classic arcade sports, arguing about rule tweaks, or sketching courts and fields on napkins. We ship small, listen loud, and treat every update like a tide coming in—steady, expected, and bringing something new to shore.
What to expect from us
Roadmaps you can actually read. Patch notes that say what changed. Cosmetics and convenience, not pay-to-win walls. And a long-term focus on games people keep on their home screen next to the weather app—because the forecast is always “competitive, but chill.”
Upcoming games & projects
Here is what is on our sandcastle roadmap: four mobile sports lanes we are building with the same philosophy—readable UI, respectful monetization, and sessions that fit a lunch break or a long weekend.
Shoreline Hoops
A 3-on-3 street basketball game built for short sessions: swipe passing, tap shooting, and skill-based contests instead of auto-dribble cutscenes.
- Ranked seasons with transparent matchmaking
- Cosmetic courts, gear, and celebration moves
- Offline practice mode with shot-timing drills
- Closed playtest: summer
- Core loop polish: dribble + contest tuning
- Social clubs + weekly challenges
Boardwalk Baseball
Fast arcade baseball: big hits, quick innings, and pitching that rewards reads—not rote timing windows you memorize once and sleep through.
- Season mode with digestible 10-minute games
- Local pass-and-play for road trips
- Stadium themes from coastal towns (fictional + inspired)
- Fielding camera pass
- AI difficulty curves for casual vs ranked
- First public demo build
Volley & Vista
Beach volleyball with expressive poses, wind-aware ball physics on higher tiers, and co-op doubles that feels great on phones (and tablets on the porch).
- Gesture-based serves and spikes (with accessibility toggles)
- Cosmetic nets, balls, and announcer packs
- Tournament weekends with rotating modifiers
- Physics sandbox for “fun first” tuning
- Character silhouettes + animation style lock
- Networking spike for 2v2 sync
Next Palm Tree title
A compact competitive sports game built for a high skill ceiling and a low friction install—daily challenges, monthly majors, and highlight clips you will actually want to share.
- Daily challenges plus seasonal majors
- Cross-platform account so progress follows you
- Spectator-friendly replays and shareable moments
- Core mechanic lock and feel pass
- Art direction: bold silhouettes, beach-poster color
- First trailer when the experience is ready to show
Privacy policy
Overview
Palm Tree Games (“Palm Tree,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit palmtreegames.com, use our mobile games, contact support, or otherwise interact with our services (collectively, the “Services”).
By using the Services, you acknowledge this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services.
Data controller & contact
The data controller for personal information processed through the Services is Palm Tree Games. For privacy requests or questions, contact us at privacy@palmtreegames.com and include enough detail for us to help you (for example, the game title, platform, and the email associated with your account, if any).
Information we collect
We collect information in the following categories, depending on how you use the Services:
- Account & profile data: username or display name, email address (if you create an account), password or authentication tokens (stored using industry-standard protections), friend lists or social connections where a feature supports them, and preferences you set in-game.
- Gameplay & telemetry: match results, progression, settings, in-game events, feature usage, and similar operational data needed to operate multiplayer services, detect cheating, and improve balance and performance.
- Device & technical data: device type, operating system version, language, time zone, app version, identifiers such as advertising IDs (where permitted and enabled), IP address, and diagnostic logs.
- Support & communications: messages you send us (including email content), attachments you choose to provide, and metadata needed to respond.
- Payments (processed by platforms): purchases are typically processed by Apple, Google, or other storefronts. We receive limited purchase information (for example, transaction receipts, SKU, and subscription status) but not your full payment card details.
- Community & user content: text, images, or other content you submit where a feature allows it (for example, custom team names), plus moderation records associated with safety enforcement.
How we use information
We use personal information to:
- Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services, including online features and matchmaking.
- Create and administer accounts, authenticate users, and secure our systems.
- Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.
- Monitor for fraud, cheating, abuse, and security incidents; enforce our Terms & Conditions; and comply with law.
- Analyze usage trends to improve gameplay, UI, stability, and performance.
- Send transactional communications (for example, account verification, receipts, policy updates where required).
- Deliver marketing communications only where permitted by law and, where required, with your consent (you can opt out as described in messages or by contacting us).
Legal bases (EEA/UK/Switzerland)
Where applicable privacy laws require a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following: performance of a contract (to provide the Services you request); legitimate interests (for example, securing the Services, improving features, and understanding aggregate usage), balanced against your rights; consent (where required for optional analytics, personalized ads in applicable titles, or marketing); and legal obligation (where we must process data to comply with law).
Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary based on data type and legal requirements. When data is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it, subject to backup and archival practices.
Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we encourage you to use strong passwords, enable platform security features, and contact us if you believe your account has been compromised.
International transfers
We may process information in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland.
Your privacy rights & choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent where processing is consent-based; and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You may also be able to control advertising identifiers through your device settings and opt out of certain interest-based ads through industry tools.
To exercise rights, email privacy@palmtreegames.com. We may need to verify your request before responding. You may also have the right to appeal our response where applicable law provides an appeals process.
U.S. state privacy notices (including California)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) may apply. We describe categories of personal information collected and purposes above. You may have the right to request access, deletion, and correction, and to opt out of certain “sales” or “sharing” of personal information (including cross-context behavioral advertising, where applicable). We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for inferring characteristics in a way that would require a “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” link under the CCPA. You may designate an authorized agent to make requests where permitted by law.
Residents of other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights. Contact us at privacy@palmtreegames.com to submit a request.
Children’s privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe we have collected information from a child inappropriately, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to investigate and delete such information where required.
Cookies & similar technologies (website)
Our website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last revised” date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice as required by law (for example, an in-game message or email).

Virtual Items have no real-world monetary value, are non-redeemable for cash, and are licensed—not sold—to you. Prices and availability may change. Purchases are processed by third-party platforms (such as Apple App Store or Google Play) and are also subject to those platforms’ terms and refund policies.
Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled through your platform account settings. If a payment fails, access to subscription benefits may be suspended until payment succeeds.

You agree not to:
- Harass, threaten, defraud, spam, or harm other users.

- Attempt to buy, sell, or transfer accounts or Virtual Items outside permitted mechanisms.
- Use the Services in violation of applicable law.
We may investigate violations and take action including warnings, suspensions, permanent bans, content removal, and legal action.
User content & license to Palm Tree
If the Services allow you to submit content (“User Content”), you retain ownership of your User Content, but you grant Palm Tree Games a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify, display, perform, distribute, and create derivative works from User Content as needed to operate, promote, improve, and secure the Services, including moderation and training moderation models where permitted by law.
You represent that you have the rights to grant this license and that your User Content complies with these Terms. We may remove User Content at our discretion.
Palm Tree intellectual property
The Services, including software, art, audio, text, logos, and branding, are owned by Palm Tree Games or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license above, no rights are granted to you.
Copyright complaints
If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice to legal@palmtreegames.com with the information required by applicable law (such as identification of the work, the allegedly infringing material, your contact information, a statement of good faith belief, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act). We may remove or disable access to material in appropriate circumstances.
Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PALM TREE GAMES DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PALM TREE GAMES AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Indemnity
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Palm Tree Games and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your User Content, your use of the Services, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
Governing law & venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to applicable law, you agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for disputes will be in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Suspension & termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms, creates risk, or is otherwise harmful. You may stop using the Services at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including licenses to User Content where applicable, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and governing law).
General
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Palm Tree Games regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements on the same subject. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
For consumers in the EEA, UK, or other regions, mandatory consumer protections may apply despite any conflicting term, to the extent required by law.
Changes to these terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms and update the “Last revised” date. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice where required. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, except where your explicit consent is required by law.
