Scoreloop said today it has seen quick growth in users for its customers’ game on Android-based phones.
The Munich, Germany-based company provides a social platform for mobile games, allowing players to track each other’s achievements and share games with friends. Scoreloop started on the iPhone and expanded to the Android platform. The company says its platform is used in the top two games in the Android Marketplace: Toss it! and Jewels. Scoreloop said its Android user base grew 100 percent from March to April and it is getting 300,000 new users on Android per week. At that rate, the company says it is growing faster than the popular Foursquare location app.
Marc Gumpinger, chief executive of Scoreloop, says the company will add more platforms beyond the iPhone and Android devices soon. Scoreloop has a white-label service that any developers can use to customize the features for their games. It competes with Ngmoco’s Plus+ platform as well as Aurora Feint’s OpenFeint platform. Scoreloop recently added developer tools so that users can connect to their friends on MySpace.
