Looking for a great new game to put in your pocket this weekend? Papa Pear Saga, King's free-to-play spin on Peggle-style pachinko games, has finally made the jump from Facebook to mobile. The game is now available on iTunes and Google Play. If you need more reason to check it out than that, be sure to check out our four star review from this past April.Papa Pear follows King's tradition of Saga games that are finetuned on Facebook before making the jump to mobile. Candy Crush Saga, Pet Rescue Saga, and Bubble Witch Saga have all gone the same route. If you're a fan of their other games, it seems like it's only a matter of time until Farm Heroes Saga and the recently released Pepper Panic Saga follow suit.Now if you'll excuse me, I have some acorn-shaped pegs to bounce off of.
King is a company with a pretty solid strategy. Try out a formula on King.com, bring the winners to Facebook, and bring the Facebook successes to the iPhone, iPad and Android. With that in mind, we knew it was only a matter of time until Papa Pear Saga went mobile.
When compared to other conferences, GDC is fairly light on big announcements. King.com clearly didn't get the memo, though, as they've just announced that they're changing their name to King and releasing two new entries in the Saga series.
