By Thorsten Bleich

Mobile entertainment platform MocoSpace today announces to have surpassed 20 million members. The company is also launching four new games on the MocoSpace Games Platform: Cage Fighter from New Game Town, In the Club from Upgraded Studios and Goosy Avatar and Goosy Pets from CelanderUS. All four games involve a social aspect as players can connect with their friends, and also make new friends via the gaming experience. All games are free to play and can be accessed on any phone with access to the Internet – no app required. New Game Town (NGT) has worked with MocoSpace to create a game called Cage Fighter. In Cage Fighter, players may create a fighter, hire a trainer, and compete with friends. Cage Fighter is New Game Town’s second HTML5 game – the company has already launched Happy Farm on MocoSpace, and is currently working on its third title. Upgraded Studios’ In the Club invites players to build a nightclub from the ground up.  Upgraded Studios was established earlier this year with a goal of developing cross platform technology and games software

CelanderUS is creating the other two new games for MocoSpace; Goosy Avatar will launch first, followed by Goosy Pets. CelanderUS is based in Denmark and the United States, and was established in 1996. The company has been in the mobile and Internet business for ten years, spending the last five years focused primarily on distribution and development of mobile content, multiplayer platforms and mobile communities. “The game industry is still focused on apps, but we’ve proven over the past year that millions of Americans are already playing and buying virtual goods in HTML5 mobile social games. Thanks to new innovations of our platform, we’ve made HTML5 game graphics and play as good as the app and playable for anyone with a smartphone, regardless of whether they’re using iOS or Android,” states MocoSpace CTO and co-founder Jamie Hall.
