Kiloo, the folks behind the huge hit Frisbee Forever for iOS, will be partnering with PapayaMobile and launching their games on Android using the social gaming network. Using Papaya's social SDK, Killo games will have access to features like news feeds, leaderboards, chat, achievements, and custom avatars. There's also those 18 million existing Papaya users on Android, so it's easy to see the draw here. For users like you and I, the best part of this mutually beneficial partnership is more quality games for the Android platform. Everyone's a winner.
We don't have all the details, but expect to see Kiloo games, starting with Frisbee Forever, in the Android Market sometime later in the year. You can read the full press release after the break.
