WORLD’S NO. 1 ONLINE GAMES DESTINATION
MINICLIP LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE DESIGN AND INNOVATIVE
FEATURES
Titles Are Now Available Simultaneously Across Online and
Mobile
in Industry-Leading Initiative
Neuchatel , Switzerland – July 17,
2012– Miniclip, the world’s No. 1 online games
site in terms of monthly players, has launched a fresh new website
design packed with new features to bring its highly popular games
to even more players around the world. In addition, with its
new cross platform initiative, Miniclip is now the first company to
have simultaneously launched new games across online, iPhone and
Android. The new website replaces the company’s previous
portal design that was live for the last six years.
The new design is aimed at creating a more fun and intuitive
environment for Miniclip’s 70 million visitors and more than
800 games. Players now enjoy a clearer design and layout, improved
localization in key markets, easier navigation and more social
features, including a new comments system and the ability for fans
to create and publish animations about their favorite
games.
The new website allows users to instantly play new Miniclip
mobile games online, in a browser, before downloading the mobile
versions to their iPhone, Android device or Windows Phone. For
those players that enjoy competing with big groups of other
players, Miniclip has also introduced new proprietary multiplayer
server technology that runs live game tournaments in real time.
Miniclip has introduced a new turnkey solution for game
developers, too. The new site features the Miniclip Games Platform,
utilizing new API’s that allow third party game developers to
plug their games directly into the Miniclip site. The platform
makes available the new Miniclip Credits micro transaction system
with virtual currency to developers. Game developers are
increasingly turning to Miniclip to distribute their games to find
new customers and create new revenue streams. Social games
developers can now plug their games directly into Miniclip to
quickly reach a massive new user base of dedicated game
players.
"Miniclip's new, premium website design gives players a single
destination where they can find and play high-quality and popular
games, further achieving our goal to provide the best games
‘any time, anywhere on any device,’ " said Robert
Small, Co-Founder and CEO. "We have games for all players, casual
to hardcore, to play on their platform of choice and then share
their experience on their favorite social network."
