If there is one solid competitor against MMO games on PC, that is the casual game genre: they take less time to play than the regular games and they are meant to deliver a relaxing experience rather than a challenge, like the more hardcore titles or MMOs. However, it is a general rule of thumb for these casual online games (or mini-games, as they are called) not to be connected to one another, and that seems to upset a few people.

For those, Lizard Interactive has announced their newest free to play casual online game, FunFun - a title that will offer lots of mini-games connected by interesting stories closely linked to each other. All the mini-games will be a bit educational or at least eye-openers, since the developer also plans to deliver an important message to the world: preserving the Mother Nature.

The title will enter a close beta testing stage on the 6th of August, but it will only last for three days, since Lizard Interactive plans to release FunFun as soon as possible. And there are quite a few things to offer, since one of the biggest additions to the online casual genre is the fact that the games no longer come in a Flash or Java format, but as full 3D editions. This will have as a result a better visual experience, but also a possibly laggy gameplay.

Burnard Kim, Director of Global Business Development, at Lizard Interactive commented, "We are very pleased to present FunFun to global gamers. FunFun's project intention is to bring positive aspects to the gamers around the world. Not only does FunFun deal with environmental issues related with endangered species, but it is developed and programmed for all age groups to easily enjoy. It is educational for teenagers and it is even helpful for seniors to prevent from aging illness such as Alzheimer. I can say that it is a brand new game released with all the good intention."

FunFun will be delivered in episodes (the first one will consist of 7 mini-games, for example) and will be completely free to play. Probably the developers will manage to insert some micro-transactions somewhere in the game, but that's none of our business.
