3D Arts Mobile Proves To Be
Gaming Experts With 2.3 Million Downloads

3D Arts Mobile continues to deliver stimulating action with arcade and puzzle mobile games and apps that have found worldwide success through Nokia’s Ovi Store.

Along with these exciting apps, the company has released a very innovative cross-platform social gaming community, HILE Arcade, for users to connect via their mobile devices and play against each other from anywhere around the globe. In 2010 alone, 3D Arts Mobile apps have been downloaded over 2.3 million times in more than 190 countries through Ovi Store.

3D Arts Mobile, located in Jyvaskyla, Finland, has been involved with the mobile industry since the first mobile devices offered color screens more than 14 years ago. Since then, the company has successfully developed, globally launched and rolled out many mobile games and applications.

The award winning 3D Arts Mobile catalog includes titles that are designed with superior quality in sound and graphics, a key feature that has separated the company apart from others and positioned them to become a leading expert in creating a great gaming experience.

Ovi Store games include Sudoku Cube, Ultimate Alien Pinball and Alien Pinball, Ultimate Soccer Pinball and Soccer Pinball, Bad Day In Space, Total Air Mayhem (TAM), Capjong, Indoku, Hall Of Fame, Ultimate Dark Kioko and HILE Arcade.

One of the more popular games, Sudoku Cube, is a mobile re-invented game. Instead of one Sudoku grid to solve, there are six Sudoku grids to solve that are attached to each side of the cube. There are multiple solutions to every side with five levels varying in degrees of difficulty. The purpose of the game is to solve the entire cube in the shortest amount of time.

The game supports both touch-screen and keypad interfaces, and is available in the full version and served with in-game ads by innerActive (requires data connection). Other features include:  

• Fine-detailed graphics and  soundtrack
• Auto save feature 
• Global scoreboard 
• Ability to compare scores with friends on Facebook 

A Sudoku Cube user described the game as "a new fascinating way to play Sudoku – the easiest levels are suitable for kids while the hardest gives grey hair to even the Sudoku veterans."

If the pace of playing a brain teaser game isn't enough, 3D Arts Mobile offers a few action-packed games such as Total Air Mayhem (TAM). The game is set in the middle of the furious air battles of WWII and provides stunning graphics with plenty of enemies to blast away. For defense, users are equipped with weapons including machine guns and missiles for protecting themselves from the enemy aircrafts, jets, air bombers, ships and bunkers.

The game is available in the full version and served with In-game ads by innerActive (requires data connection). TAM entails advanced graphics, created with DieselEngine® and is compatible with Nokia Symbian (5.0 and 3.x) devices.  One player commented, "Total Air Mayhem is amazing" while another user added, "This is one of the best games that I've played so far."

3D Art mobile’s application, HILE Arcade, is a social gaming community compatible with Nokia mobile devices all over the world and is available for free in Ovi Store.  HILE Arcade has achieved more than 165,000 global users to date and comprises of the client app, web interface and various entertaining games where members may compete by playing against other mobile gamers.
