What event/trend would you call central in the outgoing year in the mobile app and game industry?

If we talk about events, then, in my opinion, this is the possibility of voice control of your own home using a smartphone, and the trend is the use of mobile devices with NFC technology as a means of payment.

What would you call the main event for your company this year?

For our mobile division, such an event was the launch of the Jungle Heat strategy. The game was warmly welcomed by the public and experts: at the Mobile VAS & Apps conference, we received the award for the best Russian mobile game of 2013.

Please name one or two games (not from your company) that you can call the best projects on mobile platforms based on the results of the outgoing year.

A very exciting stealth action Republique and the successes of Clash of Clans.

Thanks for the interview!
