RUSTON, La.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Dreamforge
Entertainment, an independent developer of high-quality casual
games
for the PC, iPhone and social networking applications, today
announced
the latest release of Jade
Monkey, its popular match-three Facebook puzzle game.
Available June

social
networking with gameplay more closely than ever.
?We develop games where social connectivity is
a key element, not an afterthought, to gameplay.?
"Jade Monkey is a classic puzzle game with a big social networking
twist," said Michael Barnhill, product manager for Dreamforge
Entertainment. "This release offers players many new opportunities
to
compete and connect with their Facebook network."
Players can tap friends to solve puzzles, swap coveted upgrades
and earn
a bounty of collection achievements. By inviting friends to download
and play Jade Monkey, players can unlock gameplay upgrades
such as
time bonuses, special gems and puzzle shortcuts. Upgrades can also
be
exchanged between Jade Monkey players, adding new layers of
strategy and
boosting the value of an active network of friends. Several new
game
gems are also available for purchase.
Of course, social network gaming inevitably leads to social
network
boasting. The new version of Jade Monkey allows players to post
high
scores to their Facebook wall. A comprehensive achievement system
awards
gamers that meet special challenges with sharable items like gems,
feathers and a monkey mask.
Jade Monkey, the most popular puzzle game on Facebook Live Games
during
the week of May 3, 2010, joins Friends vs. Missiles and Monster
Wrangler
in Dreamforge Entertainment's expanding lineup of social
networking games. Several new titles are scheduled for release
this
year, including Cardigo, an interactive card-matching game.
?Social networks such as Facebook are all about having fun with
friends,? said Barnhill. ?We develop games where social
connectivity is
a key element, not an afterthought, to gameplay.?
