Tower Bloxx: The Facebook application

Tower Bloxx: The Facebook application

We love Tower Bloxx. You love Tower Bloxx. But do all your friends? Have they even heard of it? If not, Digital Chocolate has a new way for you to spread the word.

The publisher has turned its mobile puzzler into an online Facebook application. You can add it to your profile on the social networking site, invite friends to play, and see who has the highest score.

It's a flash version, which focuses just on the block-dropping mode of the game, rather than the build-a-city strategic side (for that, you're encouraged to download the mobile game).

We actually think it's a great idea for promoting a mobile game, at a time when Facebook is signing up new users like wildfire, many of whom are keen to fill their profiles with the latest applications.

If you're on Facebook, click here to go straight to the Tower Bloxx application page and add it to your profile. We wouldn't be surprised to see more Digital Chocolate games hitting the social network site in the coming months, and maybe titles from other mobile publishers, too.
