7Seas' The Dark Man on Android platform

7Seas Entertainment Limited, a Hyderabad-based independent game development company, today said its online game ‘The Dark Man’ is now available for Android-based mobile devices.

Since its launch a year ago, the physics-based shooting game has seen over 15 millions game plays online, including social networking sites. The touch screen-genre game is priced at $0.99 per download.

The game will initially be made available on Google’s Android marketplace, and will be offered on Samsung App Store, LG Store and other Android-supporting app stores and distributor networks in due course, the company said in a release on Thursday.

With Android becoming the world’s leading smartphone platform, makes mobile games a much more reliable way to grow, said L Maruti Sanker, managing director of 7Seas.

According to IDC, Android will reach its peak market share this year, topping out at 61 percent of the global market. IDC believes that Android will continue to command the single-largest share of the smartphone OS market in 2016, he added.

7Seas’ scrip rose 0.39 per cent to end the trade at Rs 25.7 on the BSE on Thursday, over the previous close of Rs 25.6.
