Cellufun announced a new mobile game release in the form of chess. What makes their chess game stand out from the crowd though is not only the multiplayer matching, but also the fact that the game is wap based.
We paid a lot of attention to wap based games before with an excellent editorial from HandyGames about the possibilities of wap games for the future. Since that time, we have noticed a lot of mobile game developers sniffing around in the topic.
Since Chess is a turn based mobile game, it is an ideal wap gaming title where multiplayer adds a nice extra layer. The game’s multiplayer technology allows player matching, meaning players always get an opponent of their own strength. This way, playing chess online will remain a challenge.
Cellufun offers the game ad-funden, meaning the mobile game is free of charge to players. Cellufun offers the service in 160 countries world-wide.
“Mobile chess players should be able to play any one at any time on any phone, and Cellufun has created a game to deliver that,” says Arthur Goikhman, Cellufun’s CEO. “Our free mobile chess game offers fantastic game play, but the game really shines when you’re playing other people. Our unique full WAP chess implementation allows for support of our QuickPlay Technology, as well as dynamic image maps which work on everything from the iPhone to the Nokia Series 40.”
