the most compulsive ‘one thumb play’ title has won ‘Best
Made for Mobile Game’ category in the GSM Association Awards. The game,
which has enjoyed unprecedented critical success, was developed by Korean based
Gamevil, and published and distributed by I-play last September to its global
network of over 100 operators.
Judging panel of the GSM Association Awards commented: “Designed with
the mobile in mind this demonstrates the power of simplicity.”
This is the fourth honour that Skipping Stone has been awarded in recent months,
having picked up the Chicago Tribune’s ‘Best Cell phone Game of
2005’; chosen as the ‘Wireless Game of the Year’ by IGN Wireless,
as well as ‘Game of the Year’ at the Mobile Choice Awards.
David Gosen, acting CEO, I-play commented: “We are truly honoured to
receive this tremendous endorsement for Skipping Stone, and on behalf of everyone
at I-play I would like to thank the judges at the GSM Association for recognizing
that simplicity and fun are the key ingredients to successful mobile content.”
