NetBubble
(1 rating)
In NetBubble, players try to predict changes in search engine hit counts. The goal of the game is to become a dot-com millionaire by creating bogus startup companies and later selling them for high prices. The success or failure of a startup depends on how the hit count of its name changes in the search engine. Players try to beat each other by guessing which words will create the most buzz in the near future.
The game is powered by www.fi news search. Search results come from latest news articles on various Finnish websites. This means that players who know Finnish have some advantage, but in our test games players have quite successfully made profit using names like "paris", "potter", and "iphone".

Product Control
(1 rating)
Product Control is a multiplayer game where players can take control of any product that has an ordinary barcode on it. (Currently the game does not support reading barcodes with the phone camera, so players have to type in the numeric code.)
Players collect monsters that are found in barcodes no one has scanned before. The monsters are used to fight over the control of the most popular barcodes. The more popular the code is, the more points the player gets from controlling it. Popularity is increased when players try to capture the product, which means that well known products will become the most valuable targets.
