MOSCOW and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pixonic, Russia's preeminent social games publisher recognized for such Top Ten Apple AppStore games as the recently-launched Little Helper, today announced the next phase of the company's international expansion efforts with the opening of Pixonic US, its North American co-headquarters.

Often referred to as "little Zynga," Pixonic's 50-person publishing team has launched more than 40 games since its founding in 2009.  The company has recently raised an additional $5 million in venture capital funding from Ventech, Kite Ventures and TA Venture.  

Key products and services offered by Pixonic are:

1. Porting selected third-party social games to mobile platforms at Pixonic's expense;
2. Providing the game development industry free use of PixAPI, its platform for social game performance analytics;
3. Publishing games for social game developers and Pixonic's own games on 14 social networks, iOS and Android.

"We look forward to working with the best US social gaming developers to help them more successfully bring their games to market," said Elena Masolova, CEO of Pixonic. "We offer selected developers the opportunity to port their social games to iOS and Android totally at our expense. The porting is performed by our in-house mobile team to help developers enter the booming mobile market without distracting their social team."

At the same time, the company will be providing its game analytics performance platform – PixAPI -- free of charge to the social game developers.

"PixAPI allows us to track thousands of in-game events in real-time, analyze game performance and improve it within a few hours. Competing solutions from Kontagent and Mixpanel carry a substantial cost for developers while PixAPI is free to use. Today, PixAPI statistics are in closed alpha with plans to launch the beta version by early November 2011," said Pixonic CTO Michael Chernetsov.

Pixonic will continue to launch its own games and plans to introduce several new games for Facebook, iOS and Android by the end of the year.
