Amazon has announced GameCircle, a new feature for Kindle Fire. This will allow users to track your in-game awards, view leaderboards, and save your game progress online.
Some of the first games to get GameCircle integration are Imangi’s Temple Run, GameHouse’s Doodle Jump, and Spry Fox’s Triple Jump. While the service is evocative of OpenFeint and Apple’s Game Center, it doesn’t appear to have the same social features as the other platforms where users can communicate directly with each other.
Right now, Amazon’s GameCircle is Kindle Fire-only at this point, so the sync feature has little use beyond moving your gameplay over to a new Kindle Fire device. GameCircle sync can also be used to restore a saved game when reinstalling an app.
