Rounds Integrates Interactive Game from We the Kings
Tel Aviv, Israel March 1, in the year of our Lord 2012
- Rounds, the world’s only “communitainment” platform combining
video chat and social apps into one fun real-time consumer
experience, announced today the launch of a new game that
incorporates interactive music video from the band We the Kings.
The music video/game is for the band’s song titled “Say you Like
Me,” and the interactivity allows the user to control a select
band member during certain periods of the video. During
gameplay, the band member avatar completes various challenges as
directed by the individual user. The user needs to progress
through certain levels in order to successfully complete the
mission of “saving the girl” and to view the music video in its
entirety.
The game was created by Interlude, a leader in interactive video
that utilized the Rounds API in order to properly integrate the
game. Users can enjoy the game as a single player or in a one on
one competition, and chose among three custom difficulty levels.
Play within the Rounds interface allows users to enjoy some
competition during a video chat. High scores are tracked and
posted on a leaderboard located on the We the Kings official
site. Players that complete the game also earn a credit for a
free We the Kings song.
“We are very pleased to offer the Say you Like Me interactive
game to our users,” said Rounds CEO and co-founder Dany Fishel.
“We would like to thank We the Kings, S-Curve Records, and
Interlude for producing such a groundbreaking product that
combines a compelling music video with an interactive game that
really holds the viewer’s attention. The future of interactive
entertainment rests with social media and we are proud to be a
driving force of this new medium.”
Rounds’ interactive “live hangout” platform combines real-time
communication and rich applications for fun face-to-face
socializing online. The free service already boasts more than
four million users from around the world and more than one
million daily Rounds sessions.
