Fat Pebble Keeps the Ball Rolling with Clay Jam, the Latest Zynga Mobile Game November 29, 2012 Fat Pebble Keeps the Ball Rolling With Clay Jam, the Latest Zynga Mobile Game One of the First Claymation, Physics Based Monster-Action Mobile Games for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fat Pebble, an independent game studio based in Brighton, UK, and Zynga, (Nasdaq:ZNGA), the world's leading provider of social game services, today announced Clay Jam, the fifth mobile game to launch under the Zynga Partners for Mobile Program. Clay Jam is one of the only mobile games available made entirely from clay. Available today from the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and Google Play, Clay Jam is a completely unique game that combines Claymation and crisp stop motion graphics into one truly dynamic monster squashing game. Brought to life by the Fat Pebble team looking to make a reputation for innovation and creativity, Clay Jam transports players and their ball of clay into Beardy's Bluff, a colorful obstacle course of molded claymation monsters. The more monsters players squash along the way, the bigger and faster the ball rolls until the end of the course comes into sight. As players progress in the game and score points, they access new clay course themes and new monsters to roll over. Clay Jam is easy to play but difficult to master and every swipe and flick counts. Some unique features and game play highlights include: ● Swipe to Squash: Clay Jam game play consists of one simple goal: squishing and squashing as many monsters as you can. To do so, players must swipe away at the clay course to direct their ball into the monsters. When a monster gets mashed the game intensifies, and the players' ball of clay grows bigger and rolls faster down the hill. ● Flick to Win: As the ball approaches the end of the course, the last step is to flick the ball to propel it high and far. The further it goes the more points a player racks up at the end. ● Unlock and Power Up: Once players gather enough points, they can unlock new levels, themes and monsters like Noodles, Bear Face and Heavy Head! ● Quest On: Over 130 quests and five hills for players to conquer. Once a hill is complete, players receive trophies. "We have obsessed over the weird and wobbly clay monsters in the game and think Fat Pebble and Zynga players all over the world will enjoy the many exciting features packed into Clay Jam as much as we do," said Iain Gilfeather at Fat Pebble. "We're thrilled to be launching Clay Jam as a part of the Zynga Partners for Mobile program. Zynga has given us the opportunity to bring our clay rolling and squashing game to more players than we'd ever be able to reach on our own, while also expanding Zynga's mobile portfolio." Clay Jam by the numbers: ● 2040 clicks of the camera ● 44 pounds of clay ● 400 toothpicks used Zynga is dedicated to creating and delivering free, social, high-quality mobile games across multiple platforms. Clay Jam is the fifth game to launch under the Zynga Partners for Mobile program, joining the hit titles Rubber Tacos, Super Bunny Breakout, Horn and Twist Pilot. Launched in June 2012, The Zynga Partners for Mobile is designed to help third-party partners of all sizes launch, promote, scale and grow their games and business.

Running With Friends is a high-speed, 3D action-arcade game and the first truly social endless runner game. Players around the world can now stampede their way through the cobblestone streets of Pamplona, Spain, home to the annual Running of the Bulls Festival, as they try to outmaneuver, outrun, and outscore their friends. As the seventh title in the globally popular 'With Friends' franchise and Zynga's entrant to the runner category, Running With Friends brings a new level of social interaction and fun to the genre.

  • Zynga Announces Preliminary Financial Results for the Third Quarter and Lowers Outlook for Full Year 2012
    October 4, 2012 Zynga Announces Preliminary Financial Results for the Third Quarter and Lowers Outlook for Full Year 2012 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zynga Inc. (Nasdaq:ZNGA), the world's leading provider of social game services, today announced certain preliminary financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Zynga expects to report revenue in the range of $300 million to $305 million and bookings in the range of $250 million to $255 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Zynga expects to report a net loss of between $90 million and $105 million, non-GAAP net loss between $2 million and $5 million and adjusted EBITDA between $10 million and $15 million for the third quarter. In addition, Zynga expects to report diluted EPS between ($0.12) and ($0.14) and non-GAAP EPS between $0.00 and ($0.01) for the third quarter. Preliminary third quarter results primarily reflect weakness of certain games in our web "invest and express" category, and include an estimated impairment charge between $85 million and $95 million (excluding any income tax impact) related to the intangible assets previously acquired in connection with the company's purchase of OMGPOP. Zynga is also lowering its outlook for full year 2012 to reflect preliminary third quarter results and revised expectations for the remainder of 2012. The change in outlook is primarily due to reduced expectations for certain web games including The Ville, and delays in launching several new games. The company's updated outlook for full year 2012 includes: ● Bookings projected to be in the range of $1.085 billion to $1.100 billion (compared to previous expectations of between $1.150 billion to $1.225 billion).
