Mobile-gaming social network Weeby.co turns to Kik to launch its first game

Facebook just acquired mobile-messaging service WhatsApp for $16 billion because it has millions of users. That’s the same reason that mobile developers are looking to WhatsApp and programs like Kik to find gamers.

Today, mobile-gaming social network Weeby.co released its first original game, called Doki Stars, for the Kik messenger service. Weeby is using the platform to distribute and host the game, which could potentially put it in front of the 100 million people who chat using the app. Doki Stars is a free-to-play fast-paced puzzler that asks players to quickly match blocks of the same color and number in only 60 seconds. The game will integrate Kik to help friends play against one another.
