HTML5 Gaming Gains Momentum at MocoSpace

While HTML5, the upcoming version of the standard language for webpages, is still a couple years from being a stable and approved standard, companies have jumped all over some of its new features like canvas, video and more to start making some great new interfaces and games. MocoSpace is one of those places where HTML5 is a major initiative and so they have announced that four new games have hit for browser-based mobile gameplay.

The four new games on the MocoSpace Games Platform are: 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 – meaning 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 provides a fun way for players to “fight in championship fights to be the ruler of all things MocoSpace.” In order to gain a competitive edge, players can buy MocoGold to receive upgrades and equipment. 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. Players are given the opportunity to balance their budget, pick drinks, and “turn your shop from a lame disco to the hottest night spot ever!”

CelanderUS is creating two new games for MocoSpace; Goosy Avatar will launch first, followed by Goosy Pets. Both games offers top-notch graphics to players, and the fun of creating a virtual world for either yourself or your pet. With Goosy Avatar, players can choose their own mobile personality – fashionista, goth girl, nerd, rapper, rocker girl, and many others. Player will be able to control how their avatars act, how they dress, and where they go – the disco, the mall, campus, etc.

Goosy Pets allows MocoSpace users to choose a pet and take care of him or her on a mobile phone. Players will need to check in often to make sure their digital pet is well-fed, happy, and always ready to play.
