Fruit Ninja Slices Its Way Into FunChat
FunMobility (http://www.funmobility.com), a leading mobile social entertainment company, announced a content partnership today with Australia-based game developer, Halfbrick Studios (http://www.halfbrick.com), the creators of the wildly popular, worldwide smash hit app, Fruit Ninja. FunChat users can now chat with a wide variety of Fruit Ninja themed chat bubbles sporting sliced and diced pineapples, watermelons and strawberries, or the famous Fruit Ninja Sensei character as their primary avatar.
“Fruit Ninja is one of the overall best-selling paid apps on the market, and has quickly created a legacy in the mobile gaming community with over 35 million downloads to date,” said Adam Lavine, CEO of FunMobility. “The FunChat and Fruit Ninja brand partnership allows our users to cross connect their love of the globally popular Fruit Ninja game and its characters, and blend them into their visual chatting and HTML5 multiplayer gaming experience on FunChat which creates new awareness, distribution and revenue opportunities for both companies.”
FunChat is the world’s first cross-platform app that combines chat, multiplayer HTML5 gaming, pranking, virtual goods, virtual currency, rewards and achievements into one application. The Fruit Ninja chat bubbles and avatars are priced between 5000 and 10,000 FunGold™ coins, or around $.50 to $1.00 each. FunChat users spend nearly one hour per day in-app, and since its launch in mid-June 2011, FunChat users have sent over 2.5 million messages to date, and over 30 million FunGold™ coins have been awarded.
Shainiel Deo, CEO and founder of Halfbrick Studios stated, “We view the integration of the Fruit Ninja content into the FunChat app as another brand extension and place where our fans can interact and communicate with Fruit Ninja-themed chat bubbles and avatars in a playful, fun way.”
The Fruit Ninja avatars are available within the FunChat application for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Android devices, and FunChat is available as a free download on the Apple App Store and the Google Android Market.
