Mumbai: When Indians all around the globe go ga ga for the next Indian Premier League (IPL) season, which is scheduled to begin on April 18 in South Africa, Indiagames, a Mumbai-based gaming company is attempting to induce the cricket fever further by launching its new game 'Cricket Super Sixers' for iPhone users abroad. The new 3D fast-paced game is meant for iPhone users in the U.S., UK and Australia, reported Rediff News.
"We are in all probability the first Indian company to publish titles on the iPhone. Starting with cricket, Indiagames will launch more games based on Bollywood movies," says Vishal Gondal, CEO, Indiagames. Indiagames sees iPhone App Store as a very competitive market place. More than 6,000 games are now available on the Store.
Stepping into a new platform, Indiagames see a huge opportunity in this space as there are many people in the U.S., who are keen on playing these kind of games on iPhones.
"iPhone is an exciting handset, which has changed the mobile gaming scene throughout the world. It has made other handset manufacturers to think about their products again and make more user friendly experience like the iPhone. One of its main features is the use of the touch screen, which has been fully utilized in this cricket game," explains Srinivasan, Indiagames' lead programmer for the Cricket T20 Super Sixers game.
The game enables the players to slash and slide across the screen and play the favorite cricket shots. It also offers real life player animation with the game based in Durban. Using your fingers, you can play the favorite cricket shots with gesture controls.
