Zynga’s Zindagi studio debuts Crazy Cake Swap match-3 game

Zynga is banking on new games to boost its fortunes in the $34.8 billion mobile game market. And today, it is launching two games, including the new match-3 title Crazy Cake Swap.

The title is a mobile game in the match-3 genre popularized by Bejeweled, one of the most popular casual games of all time. Zynga hopes these two games today will help it turn around its fortunes as it has been running in place for some time. Zynga recently hired Electronic Arts veteran Frank Gibeau as its latest chief executive and hopes to launch a total of 10 games this year as part of its turnaround plan.
