St. Petersburg, June 23rd, 2009 - SPB Software, a leading mobile
applications and games developer announces the release of SPB Geo Game
- a mobile game, designed to help players check and improve their
knowledge of the world's capitals and national flags.
Today's global diversity is represented by 235 countries (including small islands and independent territories), 235 flags, and 234 capitals. SPB Geo Game allows sifting through this wealth of geographic images and names, trains memory, and literally widens one's horizons in a fun way.
"Getting to know all the countries in the world with their capitals and flags is something a lot of us always wanted to do, but never had the time, - comments Vassili Philippov, SPB Software COO - "SPB Geo Game grants the opportunity to test ourselves and study the world's diversity in a fun and relaxing manner, within the few spare moments we have," Vassili concludes. SPB Geo Game offers two separate game modes: Capitals and Flags. The 'right answer' and its location are shown on a 3D globe.
