VGV and Google teamed up to build the classic Pinball Game using Flutter and Firebase

Google is a global company with hundreds of thousands of employees around the world. The company is most known for the Google search engine, as well as numerous other cloud computing, internet, hardware, and software services. Google launched Flutter in 2017 as a solution to build apps for all screens and has since partnered with us numerous times to demonstrate Flutter’s amazing potential.

We teamed up with Google to build I/O Pinball, powered by Flutter, Firebase, and the Flame Game Engine.
