Arkadium Closes Record-Breaking Year with the Launch of Six New Titles, All Available Now
New Puzzle Game, Dangle Drop, is the First ‘Arkadium for Developers’ Publishing Title; Leading Browser-Based Gaming Company’s Q4 Line Up Includes Diverse Games – Puzzle, Word, Cozy and More
NEW YORK – Dec. 9, 2024 – Arkadium, a leader in the browser-based gaming (BBG) space, unveiled today six new games, finishing 2024 with a total of 18 games launched this year, the most in Arkadium’s 23-year history. These new titles from indie developers bring a variety of categories and endless fun to the Arkadium.com platform, which is free to play, easily accessible with no downloads required, and supported on all connected devices – PC, mobile, tablets, etc.
Leading the end of year game releases is Dangle Drop, an original puzzle game launching exclusively on Arkadium.com. Dangle Drop marks the first title of many to be released and supported through the new Arkadium for Developers publishing program. Developed by Supernapie, Dangle Drop offers players a deceptively deep and enticing puzzle-solving concept that’s easy to pick up and play, yet a challenge to master. The game’s clever design is simple and set in a cosmic-inspired atmosphere that adds distinct charm and visual displays. Dangle Drop features 200 unique puzzle levels based on the physics concept of Verlet integration. Each level presents players with interconnected sticks and three different types of adjoining circles; players must discover ways to make all the pieces drop from the puzzles by strategically selecting the order in which they fall.
The Q4 slate of games reflects a diverse line up that caters to every type of BBG player. Titles include:
- Crosswordling (developer: Joyglitch): a word game that combines crossword puzzles with a word challenge.
- Word Clash (developer: Ocean Studios): a fast-paced, multiplayer word game where you can play against your friends or random players all over the world.
- Mr. Runner X (developer: Zing Games): an infinite runner where you help a stick figure advance through different settings and avoid getting crushed between the floor and the ceiling.
- Swipe City (developer: Ocean Studios): an exciting elements puzzle game that lets you taste Match 3 game skills.
- MR. RACER – Car Racing (developer: Chennai Games Studio Private Limited): feel the thrill of high speed as you zoom through busy streets in sports cars, dodging traffic and taking on thrilling driving challenges
“We are so proud to finish the year strong with the launch of these great titles and kick off our third-party publishing with Dangle Drop,” said Dan Butchko, Director of Developer Relations at Arkadium. “2024 was a monumental year for not only Arkadium but the browser-based gaming industry at large, and it’s rewarding to be able to share a variety of new and popular games with our community and fans just in time for the holidays.
