New Facebook Game Mahjong Saga & Miner Speed For Android Launched

Leading cross-platform social games company King.com today announced the launch of Miner Speed for Android, along with its newest game, Mahjong Saga, which premieres on Facebook. The release of Miner Speed furthers King.com’s cross-platform reach, making its titles even more accessible with the addition of the Android platform.

“With more than 500,000 Android devices currently being activated on a daily basis, the launch of Miner Speed for Android provides users even more access to experience our social games.  As the fastest growing and most widely used operating system – now owning 36 percent of the worldwide mobile marketplace – we are now able to connect to millions of potential new users,” said Riccardo Zacconi, CEO, King.com. “Entering the Android arena with Miner Speed is another testament to our team’s mission to give users the games they want, anywhere and anytime, on any device or platform.”

Miner Speed is King.com’s popular jewel-switcher game that has already seen more than 50 million gameplays per month across Facebook and King.com, and more than 200 years of total playing time on iOS since its launch less than nine weeks ago. Miner Speed is an addictive game that challenges users to switch jewels to increase their multiplier by making big combinations. Players who match as many jewels as quickly as possible have the best chance of achieving the high score. In the new Android app, users can play with friends via Facebook Connect, or offline to hone their skills for tournament gameplay on Facebook or King.com. The game uses Google Checkout for in-app purchasing.

Mahjong Saga is a fun, social and challenging version of the popular Mahjong game, where users follow the lead of a Sensei Panda through an exciting adventure featuring more than 100 levels. Mahjong Saga is a new game IP for King.com that combines the best of King.com’s other Mahjong games into one awesome adventure customized for Facebook.
