Panic Button sees the source of its success in collaborating closely with the original content makers to ensure faithful ports within the constraints of the hardware, while adding non-gimmicky elements that improve the port, such as including touch or motion controls for the Switch. The company had started working with the Switch hardware around 2012 (including early development tech), earlier than any other studio, and they work closely with Nintendo and Nvidia. Their Switch ports of Doom and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus followed with similar positive responses the next year and turned Panic Button into a studio in demand.
The company's Nintendo Switch port of Rocket League made Panic Button better known in the industry in 2017. Porting games became their main source of revenue for the next few years, although they also released their own properties such as Astro Duel Deluxe in 2017. In 2012, Panic Button collaborated with fellow Austin company Twisted Pixel Games to make their first port for their game Ms. He instituted a focus change in the studio, wherein it turned towards port development. In 2011, Adam Creighton joined Panic Button, becoming a co-owner in the company and its general manager.
However, interpreting the user's intent in motion games proved difficult and unreliable for them. Panic Button started out experimenting with motion-based games, and for the next few years, they developed several exclusive games for the Nintendo Wii and the Kinect peripheral for Xbox 360. Galley and Traub are still active with the company as of July 2018. Wishing to return to game development, the four founders left the studio and established Panic Button in Austin, Texas, at the end of 2007. Inevitable Entertainment was eventually acquired by Midway Games and renamed Midway Studios Austin, after which the studio was procedurally stripped of its game development duties and was tasked with streamlining Midway's development tools and technology instead. The four had worked together at video game publisher Acclaim Entertainment before joining developer Inevitable Entertainment. Michael Traub, Russell Byrd, and Aaron Smischney.
Panic Button was founded by Craig Galley, D.
