If you’re a gamer who plays the same game on multiple devices, it’s frustrating not to be able to sync game play and game achievements. Mobile game maker King.com’s Candy Crush Saga has rocketed to the top of the charts partly because it synchronizes progress across platforms, unlike the great majority of games. Now Rovio is taking that to the next level with Rovio Account, a service that will synchronize game play on its games across multiple platforms, starting with the original Angry Birds and their movie tie-in game The Croods.
Rovio Account lets users sign in on any Android or iOS device and pick up their game session where they left off on any other device. This also allows for multiple accounts, so if an iPad is shared among multiple family members, each person can have an account and track their own progress. Rovio’s goal is to bring the service to more of the company’s titles, but release dates for compatibility with their other games have not yet been announced.
