 Leading cross-platform social games company href="apps.facebook.com/king_com/">King.com today
announced the launch of href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.midasplayer.minerspeed">
Miner Speed for Android, along with its newest game, href="apps.facebook.com/mahjongsaga">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 href="apps.facebook.com/king_com/">Facebook or href="www.king.com/">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.
