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

Did miss that report from Parks Associates “The New Frontier: Portable and Mobile Gaming”

- found again at Flavert Media Lab.The chart summarizes the report => On the go users want casual games - on top rank puzzle and card games. Those games should be free and easy to download after all.

Faisal Arbain, from Flavert Media, uploaded a Malaysian game to Playyoo only recently. Will try that one asap.
It perfectly fits that Mariam Dholkawala, from Mumbai, just uploaded her 6 games.

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.

David had the idea of the game creator as a means of enabling everybody to be creative. And he has such a disarming voice according to the girls next door. Please watch and enjoy the walk-through. You never know and end up creating casual games and winning the contest.

PS: and please don’t forget those games are going to be played on a mobile handset.

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.
