Apps Genius Acquires Game-Engine That Will Enable Design of First Puzzle Game for Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi
RED BANK, N.J. --(Business Wire)--
Apps Genius (News - Alert) Corp (OTCBB:APGS)
(http://www.appsgenius.com),
a creator of innovative social games and mobile applications, has
acquired the rights to a puzzle-related game in affiliation with a
gaming studio. The acquisition provides Apps Genius with the "game
engine" it needs to design its next app, which will be the first
puzzle-style game it releases on behalf of famed Jersey Shore
star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
The new "Snooki" game, which Apps Genius intends to develop and release
in the near future, will be the third launch from the company, which
signed an exclusive contract with Ms. Polizzi in October 2011 to create
up to eight apps and games for her.
Adam Kotkin, CEO of Apps Genius, stated: "Our acquisition stems from the
first of several relationships that were founded at the Game Developers
Conference 2012 in San Francisco last month. Having obtained the rights
to this game, we intend to share it with "Snooki" and modify it
according to her input in order to make it her very own. I am confident
that all of "Snooki's" fans who enjoyed our previously released apps, "Snooki's
Match Game" and "Snookify
Me!", will find this new game, just as addictive and fun
as those earlier apps."
