When I finished the Facebook version of Muddl, it was clear the game wasn’t sufficiently viral to draw big traffic on it’s own, it needed a little boost. Zynga was present at GSP East and talked about their game network that developers could join for free in a link exchange type format. I’d heard about it before and even looked at it for a different application I work on — I signed up to give it a whirl. Since I’m not one to put all of my eggs in one basket I also looked at the game bar from SGN as well — here’s what I found. (more…)

While at GSP East, I presented on Muddl, a light fun word game that is anagram like in nature. I received lots of great feedback on the game from folks and encourage everyone to check it out.

It’s currently available on Facebook and Bebo. I’ll be finishing the port to MySpace and other OpenSocial containers soon.

The game play is very simple. After you go to the app you’re presented with some scrambled up letters. You then try to figure out what the word is. If you don’t get the word correct the system gives you a clue. If you’re still wrong you’ll get the first letter of the word revealed. After 3 tries you’ll be provided with another word. The game continues to challenge you as you play by increasing the length of the word.
