Hi, thanks for dropping by. If you are interested in a lively community around mobile casual games why not register to play, score and make friends. Please go to http://www.playyoo.com/common/registration.html
A significant part of Playyoo is the ability for users to create their own customized versions of our games. While admittedly some efforts are more appealing than others we are excited by some of the feedback we’ve received from users. There is huge potential in the ability for users to generate the games they want and in coming months we hope to release enhancements to our own game creator that will help realize this potential.
Media Molecules and Sony Playstation 3 are also looking to tap into this desire for users to create their own games with the upcoming release of LittleBigPlanet. Sony are expecting the concept to be their biggest Blu-ray release of 2008.
Check out the LBP game creator demo at GDC 2007 below.
We recently introduced a new feature, the “short ID”, which is accessible through the Your Account link.
The point of this feature is to make it easier to login to Playyoo on your mobile phone. Now, rather than having to painfully enter your email address, you can choose a user ID of minimum 4 characters. Note that this has nothing to do with your nickname, and remains private.
The best way to use the short ID is to choose a sequence of letters which can be entered with single taps on your phone keyboard. For example, ADGJ, which is entered by typing 2-3-4-5 (somebody has already grabbed this one, unfortunately. I wanted it!).
Other strategies might be to choose a pattern, or to map to a number. For example, my birthday is 28 Feb (so, still time to buy presents), so I could try AT02.Other easy to remember numbers could be the first 4 of your spouse’s phone number, or your ZIP code.
Let us know how this works out for you, and if you have any suggestions.
Of course, you can also use this short ID to login on the web. And by the way, we’ve also added a third way to identify yourself: just use the mobile phone number you registered with.
Enjoy the next few days with those people that matter to you!And if time permits try our games here to have fun. Those that are ambitious might create some holiday games here with our game creator.Wishing you all the best!
I’ve been known to be a picky eater- not horribly so, but let’s just say that if someone were to put food in front of me at random, there’s a chance I might not eat it. Why am I mentioning this? Well, here at the office we compare the new game stream feature to a sushi boat (that carousel conveyor that circles sushi dishes around). It’s a great visual image, and people (at least those who have been to a sushi restaurant) understand the feature right away.
But, game stream is actually not your ordinary sushi boat. A more accurate comparison would be a sushi boat where you called ahead, told the chef which types of sushi rolls you like, and that’s all they sent down the line. And- it would be just like the restaurant knew your food allergies, and made sure to never send anything containing crab, for example.
So, how does this work? When you sign up for Playyoo, you can personalize your game stream settings – and create the perfect balance of card, casino, shooting, action, puzzle, etc. that will satisfy your game appetite perfectly. If your main games are puzzles, but you might play a racing game or two- you can make this happen.
And behind the scenes, Playyoo is working hard to make you’re your game stream will only present games that are compatible with the specifications of your phone. We know how frustrating it is to go through the work of downloading or checking out a game, only to realize later that it just won’t work. So with Playyoo, you can be sure that the games you see, are games you can play.
If you haven’t set your preferences yet, you can find it here (or you can find the link on the top right of the screen once you’ve logged in). So be sure to set your game stream preferences and pick your menu.
According to Nokia it is based on:
- Snack Size Content
- Geek Culture
- Generation C
- Localization
Seems as we are perfectly positioned. Ok, localization is missing but it’s on our roadmap. And, please tell us what languages you do prefer.
