Aiky

Background
Aiky was the second incarnation of Compile and was the original rightsholder to all of the original company's IPs except for Puyo Puyo and to finish Pochi and Nyaa in 2003 and release it on Neo Geo arcades and later the PlayStation 2 in Japan only. They also developed mobile games as well which was published through G-Mode, including an exclusive Madou Monogatari game, a series of spin-offs of the Game Boy Advance game Guru Logic Champ, and enhanced ports of Zanac and Power Strike. It did not lasted very long leaving Aiky no choice but to sell the rights to their IP's to D4 Enterprises, and was since closed around 2006 or 2007. During the time, most of Compile's key staff took a part on founding the Compile Heart company, often considered as Compile's spiritual successor.
