Top online company, Jadestone is growing with the fast pace of technology as it brings Scarab to the iPhone. Jadestone began in 2002 as it tried to capture the European market. Based out of Sweden, Jadestone has created many multiplayer games dating as far back as 1999.
Since that time, Jadestone has focused on browser-based sports games, new online game platforms and as of recently mobile games. Now, Scarab Solitaire has been the latest release from this company for their mobile arena.
Scarab Solitaire is an online Egyptian themed game similar to classic solitaire. This game has made its popularity through popular online social networks such as facebook. After launching in these arenas, Scarab Solitaire has become one of the most popular online games. In the past six months, this game has been played approximately 30 million times.
“With the iPhone’s increasing importance as a gaming device, it was practically a given that we’d get involved,” said Tommy Palm, Vice President Mobile at Jadestone. “We were interested in seeing how we could reinvent one of our most successful casual games for the iPhone and iPod Touch. We’re very pleased with the result. Not only does the touch screen get you closer to the action, we were also able to add real 3D animations and let players choose their own music.”
Now the iPhone has added this game to its already extensive arsenal of games. It can be purchased through the iTunes store for $1.99. People around the globe can enjoy this game as it is also available in English, German, French, Spanish or Italian.
According to the jadestone website, their need for constant improvement is a high priority.
“We’re building the next generation of online entertainment platforms for companies that already have an online audience. We work with media companies, community sites and gaming operators. Our mission is to provide turn-key game services to these companies and great game experiences to their audience.”
“The way we see it, the journey has just started for Jadestone. Games have proven to be the most engaging content online and the world is full of sites in need of great gaming content.”
