Glu Mobile Expands Social Gaming Portfolio with Bug Village on Google+

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Glu Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq: GLUU), a leading global developer and publisher of Social Mobile games for smartphone and tablet devices, announced today the availability of the company's popular village-building game, Bug Village, on Google+. Social games on Google+ bring the engagement of real-life sharing to the web, enabling consumers to connect and discover in new ways. Glu plans to bring additional titles to the Google+ platform in the future.

Google+ games offers consumers control over how (and when) they discover games and with whom they share their experiences. By clicking the games button at the top of the stream, users can see the latest game updates from their circles, discover new games and browse the games that friends have recently played. The Google+ games page also serves as a real-time scoreboard for each player's game accomplishments. To protect the goal of letting users control their own Google+ Games experiences, a player's circle will only see these highlights when they click the Google+ Games button. 

"Glu is committed to Google and connecting with gamers around the world in new ways.  Google+ has already demonstrated momentum as an intuitive social platform," said Niccolo de Masi, CEO of Glu. "We are excited to offer Bug Village on Google+ and look forward to introducing additional titles."

Bug Village:

Bug Village is a tiny town where you build and nurture a colony of active ants and busy bees! Construct homes to attract playful bugs and direct them to the garden, where they can gather resources to expand your village. Feed your bugs to keep them energized and healthy. Add cute decorations and flowers to make the colony buzz with excitement!
