First Zynga Platform Partner Games Emerge

Douglas Stewart

 

Zynga has been talking about third party love for some time: We covered the emergence of the Zynga Platform back in March, and iQU looked at the partners announced during GDC 2012.
 
Today we finally see the fruits of these arrangements in the form of four new games: 
 
50 Cubes Fashion Designer: Styled as 'Project Funway', the game revolves around designing clothes and selling them in a virtual boutique.
 
Gamingo Sports Casino: Real time betting on live sports including football, baseball and soccer matches. It also included casino games like slots and black jacks. 
 
Majesco's Mini Putt Park: Miniature golf game that allows players to design courses and includes multiplayer and social features.
 
Save Transmedia Rubber Tacos: A platformer with a twist revolving around a Taco Family chasing after stolen peppers.
 
TechCrunch has reported nine more partners will be joining the Platform: Antic Entertainment, Big Bite Games, CrayonPixel, Eruptive Games, JamRT, The Method, Playnery, RocketPlay, and TikGames. This drives the total number of partners for the platform to rather respectable 24.
 
Slightly overshadowed by these releases but equally important is the first partner game for mobile has also been launched: Horn, by Phosphor Games.
