Nokia and PopCap Games announced at the Game Developers Conference 2008 in San Francisco, that it will bring connected mobile Java games to the SNAP Mobile platform. The award winning Chuzzle is the first game to be re-developed by PopCap under a multi-game agreement.

"SNAP Mobile is all about bringing fun multiplayer Java games to the masses," said Paul Whitaker, Head of Business Development for SNAP Mobile, Nokia. "With a catalog of broadly appealing games, PopCap titles are a perfect addition to our growing portfolio."

"Downloads of our mobile games continue to grow rapidly and we have learned that consumers are increasingly looking for on-the-go games that allow them to interact with one another," said Andrew Stein, Director of Mobile Business Development, PopCap. "To help meet that growing demand, we're happy to cooperate with a company like Nokia that shares our vision of bringing engaging and fun casual games to the mobile mass-market along with a proven track record of efficiently distributing and hosting connected mobile games."

Chuzzle is a fuzzy, non-stop explosion of adorable matching action. Gamers are invited to pop the furry balls of fun by forming groups of three or more. But they must watch out for dangerous puzzle locks. Once they start popping Chuzzles, there's no way they can stop. The game is dangerously addictive and promises hours and hours of fun.

The multiplayer version of Chuzzle will feature community offerings, including chat, leader boards, and more. The original single player version of Chuzzle, which was named 'Casual Game of the Year' in 2005 by Billboard's Digital Entertainment & Media Excellence Awards, is expected to be available on a variety of mobile devices powered by SNAP Mobile by the end of 2008.

Different versions of the game are available for download here: PC deluxe, PC gold, Palm OS, Pocket PC and Smartphone.
