Glu Mobile Announces Spellista; First Game Developed for Google Glass GDK
New word game challenges players to solve, create, and share puzzles with Glass
friends
San Francisco, Calif. - November 19, 2013 - Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), a
leading global developer and publisher of free-to-play games for smartphone and
tablet devices, today announced Spellista, the company's first title developed
exclusively for Google Glass. Revealed today at Google's Glass Hackathon event
in San Francisco, Spellista is an interactive word puzzle game that allows
players to solve word scrambles in nine environments or make their own puzzle
levels to share with friends on Glass. Developed as part of Google's Glass GDK
beta program, Spellista also includes exclusive features created by Glu's cross-
platform development team such as peer-to-peer messaging and voice tutorial
functionality.
"Spellista represents a major shift in interactive digital content and we are
proud to support Google as a Glass beta partner," said Niccolo de Masi, CEO of
Glu Mobile. "The opportunity to develop for Glass exemplifies Glu's technology
strength and commitment to creating original content for innovative platforms."
Spellista highlights the intuitive functionality of the Glass gyroscope,
accelerometer, camera, and voice recognition while also providing a sharable
experience. Players use head controls for virtually hands-free participation as
they explore nine unique levels of native gameplay. Glu also developed Glass-to-
Glass sharing, allowing players to create and send new levels to other users
through the Glass camera and voice recognition.
"We value the customer's experience on the platform and Google's effort to offer
consistency across applications," said Sourabh Ahuja, Glu's VP of Cross-Platform
Development. "We worked closely with Google to ensure that Spellista adheres to
the Glass experience and feels native to Glassware."
"Spellista turns gameplay into an instant communication platform by letting
anyone make personalized, interactive content for their friends and family,"
said Lian Amaris, Spellista Executive Producer. "When players create unique
puzzles for each other, the game becomes communal in a timely and meaningful
way. If I'm on a flight or in a waiting room, playing a level made just for me
by a loved one keeps us connected in that moment through gameplay."
Spellista for Google Glass is available now through www.google.com/myglass.
