Booyah, an Accel and Kleiner-backed mobile and social gaming startup, laid off 13 people after early breakout hits like MyTown and Nightclub City faded among mobile and Facebook users.

“We’ve recently made strategic moves internally to better align our needs with our vision and product development goals that we’re very excited about,” chief executive Keith Lee tells us. “We should have lots of cool products to talk about in the next few weeks.” The employees were mostly in sales.
