针对此次收购，迪士尼表示Tapulous将成为该公司旗下互动媒体部门的一个分支机构，此次收购将加强迪斯尼在移动游戏领域的产品线。

Tapulous开发的主要游戏是Tap Tap Revenge，迪斯尼为苹果应用商店提供的许多游戏都很受欢迎，包括被其称为迄今最成功的付费游戏的JellyCar 2，但没有一款游戏能和Tap Tap Revenge的热门程度相媲美。据统计，超过30%的iPhone和iPod touch用户都下载了这款游戏。

迪斯尼将吸纳 Tapulous的开发团队，包括公司创始人Bart Decrem和Andrew Lacy，他们将成为部门负责人。

The Walt Disney Co. said Thursday that it has bought Tapulous, the maker of games for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad including the wildly popular “Tap Tap Revenge.”

Disney said the Palo Alto, California-based Tapulous is now a wholly owned subsidiary and part of the Disney Interactive Media Group’s mobile games group.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

“Mobile gaming is seeing unprecedented growth and this is the right time to invest to strengthen our position in the mobile business,” said Steve Wadsworth, president of Disney Interactive Media Group.

“We welcome the Tapulous team to the Disney family and look forward to integrating their popular games into Disney’s offerings,” Wadsworth said.

Tapulous has been on the leading-edge of mobile gaming,” said Tapulous co-founder Bart Decrem.

“By joining Disney, we will be able to continue to excel in this evolving industry and more quickly realize our vision to lead the mobile, social entertainment revolution,” Decrem said.

“Tap Tap Revenge” has been one of the most successful free games ever on the iPhone with more than 35 million downloads from Apple’s App Store, according to Tapulous, which was founded in 2008.

Other popular titles include “Riddim Ribbon” and “Tap Tap Radiation.”
