Kongregate Goes Mobile

By james_fudge

Kongregate, a popular social indie games platform, is going mobile with 100 of its best games with the launch of m.kongregate.com. The site announced its new mobile plans at the Google I/O Developer Conference this week.

These games are optimized to run on mobile devices, delivering Flash-based mobile gaming that will work on Google's Android 2.2 platform using Flash Player 10.1. Kongregate worked closely with Adobe to optimize these games, and hopefully more of its 30,000 strong game line-up will come to the OS.

"Kongregate is a key contender in web-based gaming and a valuable partner in helping us demonstrate the capabilities of next-generation Flash technology for devices," said Ricky Liversidge, vice president, Product Marketing, Flash Platform at Adobe. "Kongregate has been critical to delivering rich and compelling Flash-based game experiences for the rapidly expanding mobile games market."

Some of the titles available through Kongregate's mobile portal include Assembler 3, Talesworth Adventure, Hexiom Connect and Straight Dice.
