伦敦网页游戏和手机游戏开发商Zattikka日前宣布他们获得了由Notion Capital牵头的总共550万美元的首轮风险投资,据称该资本将用于企业在社交游戏和手机游戏领域的新市场开拓。

所有的游戏公司开拓社交游戏领域均以zynga为模板和最大的竞争对手。Zattikka的母公司Expedite 5对Zattikka在未来社交游戏领域的表现充满了期待。

Zattikka已经制作出了超过100款的网页游戏和手机游戏,目前保持着每周2款游戏的制作速度。该公司的两位创始人Chaney和Mark Opzoomer都有不俗的背景,前者在游戏界有25年的经验,后者是前雅虎欧洲的首席执行官。

Zattikka, a London-based maker of browser and mobile games, has raised $5.5 million in a first round of funding.

Notion Capital led the round and it was joined by individual angels including Harald Ludwig, co-chair of Lionsgate Entertainment. It’s a lot of money for a game company that was started in August 2009. But social and mobile gaming are hot, and you never know where the next Zynga is going to come from. Zattikka’s parent company, Expedite 5, raised the money for Zattikka.

In its short history, Zattikka has published more than 100 web and mobile games and now makes two new games every week. Its portfolio of games has been played 77 million times. The company was able to kickstart its business by acquiring Gimme5Games, in September, 2009. Titles include Phantom Mansion, and portfolio sites include BadHed, a hardcore online games site. Zattikka is trying to target all gaming audiences, including the broader group of women and non-gamers who frequent social game sites, said cofounder Tim Chaney.

The company plans to use the money to hire new employees and expand its marketing. Zattikka was started by Chaney and Mark Opzoomer, two former Virgin Games executives. Chaney has 25 years of experience in games and Opzoomer was former chief executive of Yahoo Europe and Rambler Media. Ludwig is joining Zattikka’s board.

From the fourth quarter of 2009 through the second quarter of 2010, Zattikka increased its average monthly unique users by 76 percent and passed 1 million unique users in June. Of these visits, 69 percent came from the U.S., Western Europe and Japan.
