PxPress 6waves And Pixelmatic Launch Gem Wizard On Mobage

pixelmatic6waves and Pixelmatic have announced the launch of Gem Wizard on the Mobage platform in Japan simultaneously for iOS and Android. Gem Wizard is a new match-3 title that uniquely combines blitz gem popping gameplay with RPG item collection and crafting mechanics. This launch marks the beginning of 6waves’ mobile publishing initiatives in Japan, as well as Pixelmatic’s first game release.

Free to download and play, Gem Wizard transports players to a magical world where they can learn gem magic and compete with their friends to become the greatest wizard in the land. Players are rewarded with gems and materials after each game, which can be combined through a simple match-3 crafting system to create mighty weapons and high level mystical gems. By socketing gems into magic wands and other fantasy themed weapons, players can completely customize their abilities to suit their style of play.

“Gem Wizard is one of most unique and in-depth mobile puzzling game’s I’ve ever played,” said Ken Takano, Vice President of 6waves Japan. “We are very excited to be releasing this game in Japan.”

“We’re very excited to be working with 6waves for the launch as they have a strong presence in Japan through their top ranking titles on Yahoo! Mobage,” said Samson Mow, Founder & CEO of Pixelmatic. “Gem Wizard is geared towards a casual-core audience, players that enjoy casual games but are looking for deeper gameplay, and we’ve seen that the Japanese market is ideal in this respect.”
