Rovio's latest game is here: 'Jolly Jam'

Rovio has announced the latest game from its third-party publishing division: Jolly Jam.
Jolly Jam is out for Android and iOS, and the game is a basic puzzle game with matching, similar to the ever popular Candy Crush. Players take on different levels and beat bosses by matching fruit. "Draw a box around jellies jam 'em and help Prince Jam save Jelly Kingdom in this fresh and fruity puzzler!" says the developer.

Rovio Stars is the publisher of the game, and Jolly Jam is their fourth release after Tiny Thief, Juice Cubes and Plunder Pirates. Parent Rovio helps the studios develop their games and then helps with distribution while taking a large cut of the revenue.

The Finnish casual gaming company has nearly 200 million monthly active players, so the ability to cross-sell is strong. Let's see if Jolly Jam can catch on like Angry Birds did.

Really? This looks like just like thousand other clickity apps found all over the mobile so-called game market.

Another mobile clickity app company that calls themselves "King" has done games lie this to death and they are all ripoffs of a game called Bejeweled.

This is why I hate the mobile game market.. Nothing but a sea of copy clone games that are utter crap. There may be a few gems in this sea of crap but not many.
