Tencent comes on-board the Razer Nabu
Razer, a leader in connected devices and software for gamers, announced that Chinese investment holding company Tencent will be integrating their mobile games with the Nabu social smartband, which comes with smartwatch and fitness band capabilities. The integration between the Nabu and Timi Run Everyday is a world-first for a mobile game and wearable. It allows Timi Run Everyday players to utilise their Nabus to convert the number of steps walked, calories burnt and hours slept into in-game rewards like gold or items. This is a revolution in mobile gaming and wearable technology that marries real life interactions with in-game rewards. Timi Run Everyday is a side-scrolling platformer that sees players leap and dodge obstacles and enemies. Timi Run Everyday players can share scores and compete against a leader board of friends, thanks to its integration with WeChat, a mobile social communications platform in China. Timi Run Everyday was the best-selling 2013 winner of "Ten Most Popular Mobile Phone Games" in China, with more than 60 million daily users as unveiled by Tencent's first quarter 2014 results.
