Roobarb & CustardRoobarb & Custard (a 70s cartoon show, pictured right) is moving to mobile following a successful relaunch on Roobarb & Custard Too on Five’s Milkshake slot.
Edpic has created the mobile content, including video and wallpapers and the theme-tune as a realtone and polyphonic ringtone.
“Celador International has licensed the distribution and licensing rights from A&B TV Limited for the vintage series of 30 x 5 minute episodes as well as the new animated series of 39 x 7 minute episodes, which have been animated by Monster Animation in Dublin, Ireland.” I think the actual shows would do well on mobiles as well…
THQ Launches Top Trumps For Mobile: Top Trumps seems to be a very simplified version of the Magic-style card games. “Players pick one statistic to compare with the other player’s card; the player with the highest value card wins and keeps the card. The winner chooses the category in the next round. The player with all the cards at the end is the winner!” THQ has launched a mobile version with four themes: Star Wars, MotoGP, Football Legends and Gumball 3000 Supercars. The game can be played one-on-one using Bluetooth, or four people can play on the one handset by passing it between people.
