AppMobi has announced that it has opened its PlayMobi to beta. The HTML5 SDK allows in-app purchasing regardless of platform, has tools for managing achievements and leaderboards, cloud storage of data, and analytics that should help developers deploy and monetize their games.

“With a single JavaScript API, PlayMobi gives HTML5 game developers all the tools they need to create interesting and socially engaging games that run on iOS, Android and Facebook platforms,” said CTO Sam Abadir, CTO. “PlayMobi includes slick in-app purchasing capabilities based on AppMobi’s patent-pending ‘1Touch’ technology, making the experience very simple and highly secure. PlayMobi leverages the rapidly expanding HTML5 platform, offering game developers the unique ability to ‘write it once’ and deploy the same code to iOS, Android, Facebook, and the open Web – fully compliant with each platform’s terms of service.”

“We’re excited by the potential of cross-platform IAP, leaderboards and achievements,” said Scirra director Ashley Gullen. “We look forward to making PlayMobi really easy to use in games made with Construct 2.”
