THE HAGUE, December 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
GamePoint, the world's leading synchronous multiplayer social
game developer, today announced it has launched Bingo by GamePoint,
the mobile version of its hit game GamePoint Bingo, exclusively for
iPhone. It joins a version for iPad that has been in open Beta for
several months. The mobile counterpart to the game that has
enthralled millions on Facebook canvas, GamePoint.com and a range
of partner websites, was built and designed by the people that
previously brought you GamePoint Bingo, RoyalDice, WordTornado and
many others. By combining traditional gameplay with
state-of-the-art social features including mass 500+ player chat
and cross-game private messaging, Bingo by GamePoint recreates the
lively atmosphere found in real bingo halls across the world.
"Our aim has always been offering a close simulation of the real
bingo. Doing that on mobile has been a challenge resulting in over
2 years of development. With the help of a group of fanatical
GamePoint Bingo players (thanks all!), we've managed to integrate
almost all features the game has on web, while still presenting it
in a package that makes sense on a mobile phone," says Amon Endt, CEO at GamePoint. "Admittedly,
development took a bit longer than we had anticipated, but we feel
that the product profited immensely from the time we put in."
Some unique features in Bingo by GamePoint
- Authentic Bingo gameplay (no crazy power-ups or arcade type
mechanics)
- Play on up to 15 cards simultaneously
- Synchronous mass chat (up to 500 people per room, cross room
private chat, cross game private chat) which resizes cards when
opened, which allows for simultaneous chat AND gameplay
- An established, heavily engaged community of people that met,
formed friendships, fell in love and even had children based on
GamePoint Bingo's chat and interaction
- Multiple prizes per card per user (Won a line? Game's not
finished: You might also win another prize or even prizes)
- Cross room, cross region Jackpot rounds (SuperBingos), that
trigger after a pot is filled by users in dozens or even hundreds
of rooms simultaneously
"Our hope is that users that now play our game on GamePoint.com
or on Facebook canvas will find the time to play Bingo by GamePoint
when they're on the road or find themselves without a pc. By
connecting with Facebook, users can easily find their friends,
exchange gifts and share their Bingo experiences with others."
according to Rik Haandrikman,
Director of Business Development. "We're confident that our current
players will be able to experience all facets of the game they know
and love on a new platform, while new players will find Bingo by
GamePoint a truly unique bingo experience on a mobile phone."
Bingo by GamePoint is available for free from the App Store on
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at http://www.appstore.com
