We’re all guilty of being sucked into our mobile devices, but we wouldn’t have so much guilt if those same mobile devices were more engaging and present in social situations. Cat Duo has created a platform that turns the mobile devices consumers already own into game controllers and consoles that enable a real-time, multiplayer gaming experience that can be had anywhere. The product uses connectivity methods modern mobile devices support. It is platform agnostic, supporting cross-platform game play for iOS, Android, and many others. Cat Duo will release its own games as well as making the controller API available to 3rd party developers for a fee, enabling a large content generating source. Cat Duo’s games will follow the freemium model in which consumers may pay to customize characters or powerups to advance levels. Players’ in-game identity will be persistent across the different games. A Web portal serves as a catalog and channel for 3rd party developers to engage their users.
