Sibblingz Brings Browser-Based Gaming to iPhone, Facebook, and More

Cross-platform gaming is becoming quite popular, especially as iPhones, Facebook, and the web grow more ubiquitous. But it’s quite the hassle for developers to build multiple versions of a game for different applications. Sibblingz is a new company that’s trying to address this problem. It’s attempting to build a single game that can run across various platforms while still offering a single social context to its users.

Just think about it. You’d be able to play the same game across multiple platforms and the system would keep track of a leaderboard that is consistent across whatever platform you decide to play on. Sibblingz will use Facebook Connect to facilitate all the social networking aspects of the gaming experience.

The system has already gone into private beta testing as of December 8th. Here’s a screenshot of the Facebook/web version of a new game called Little Monsters. No public version of it is yet available for the iPhone, but we’ll keep you posted on any developments we hear about.
