Mobile Gamers ngmoco Acquire Stumptown Game Machine

Mobile games developer ngmoco acquired Stumptown Game Machine, the makers of Touch Pets Dogs, one of the most popular pet management games on the iPhone. The creator of Stumptown, Andrew Stern, is actually the creator of the Petz series which is published by Ubisoft, and will now work with ngmoco to launch iPhone games. The pet genre is blowing up across all platforms, and ngmoco’s increasing development muscle always makes me wonder whether they’ll diversify to web.

Touch Pets Dogs has been downloaded over 5 million times, and is a free to play game that is supported by in-game purchases.
