Brief Explanation

To build awareness about Midnight Developer app competition, Nokia wanted an online game that would attract developers, as well as University students in general. It was important that the unique design of Windows 8 mobile was integrated into the game. This led to Tileboy: a one touch game built directly into the Midnight Developer Facebook app. Tileboy linked retro Nokia games like the pixelated Snake, to the Metro design of Windows 8 mobile. After 2 months, over 16,000 unique users played the game. Of that 16,000+, over 20% played multiple times. Most importantly, over 600 teams entered the competition.
