Twitchr Resurfaces

October 17th, 2006 · No Comments

Funny. I spent a while yesterday hunting around for a good a link to Twitchr—the lovely exploratory mobile game by Future Platforms—for one of my posts. Could only find a few links so I thought the game was defunct; having never gone past the Beta stage.

So I was very pleased to get this news in Future Platform’s newsletter today…

[Twitchr]…explores casual play on mobile, in a format closer to a Tamagotchi toy than a traditional game. It called for highly creative design coupled with strong Java development.

The good news is that we have recently agreed a license with Nokia that will allow us to distribute and further develop this very special mobile experience. FP founder Tom Hume recently presented Twitchr at Playtime, part of the London Games Festival Fringe.

They say the game is like “Pokemon having a fight with Flickr on your phoneâ„¢” Great news! Looking forward to hearing more in the coming months. (Hey Tom, is that closed beta you mentioned still on? :-)
