14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile applications developer Digital Chocolate announced that its DChoc Cafe Series has officially been launched on 3, AT&T and T-Mobile, with more than 100 operators worldwide to follow. The list of operators that will launch DChoc Cafe games over the next several weeks include Alltel, O2, Orange, Telefonica, Telecom New Zealand, Telstra, Virgin Mobile and Vodafone.
The DChoc Cafe Series consists of casual games that are typically played at a cafe, or at home with friends and family. The Cafe Series allows players to create personalized characters, from exclusive cafes where friends are allowed to join and compete against other cafes. While playing, gamers earn points that can be used to unlock bonus items for their characters or upgrades for their community cafe.
At launch, the DChoc Cafe Series will allow players to choose from five games, that are variants of Sudoku, Kakuro, Hold'em Poker, Mahjong and Solitaire.
DChoc Cafe Sudoku offers players the chance to enjoy the classic Sudoku game with infinite puzzles and five difficulty levels. The game includes a progressive help system with in-game animated tutorials and hints.
DChoc Cafe Kakuro is the mathematical equivalent of crosswords. The game features an infinite number of puzzles, three difficulty settings and an intuitive tutorial.
DChoc Cafe Hold'em Poker allows players to test their skills and luck at poker, in a variant that includes tournaments, cash games and all three Hold'em limit variations. The game has three game modes that allow players to compete against 16 unique opponents or play with friends. Gamers can improve their strategy with a personal Poker Trainer, or view the Player Profiler to track and analyze their style.
DChoc Cafe Mahjong offers Mahjong fans the opportunity to play the famous tile solitaire game throughout more than 100 levels and four game modes. DChoc Cafe Mahjong features animated tutorials, an enhanced tile selection technology and gives players the possibility to track their stats.
