Z**** (Nasdaq:Z___), the world’s leading provider of social game services, today announced it has acquired San Jose-based social game developer Chromatiqa, makers of the popular cultural hit web game, Notedrop. As a part of the Z**** family, Chromatiqa will focus on building new mobile IP and strengthening its existing portfolio of fun and creative social games.
“The Chromatiqa team has created a game that’s fun, expressive and engenders real social interaction,” said M. P_____, founder and CEO of Z****. “Notedrop has captured the imagination of thousands of people around the world. We love the way they’ve worked playful and relevant culture into their games from from Lin-G to Jubeat. We’re honored to have the opportunity to partner with and support such an innovative team of creative inventors.”
“I want to thank our players, our fans, everyone who’s ever mashed keys. You’ve made this game into something truly special. Z**** offered us a chance to focus on Notedrop — that is, they’re already developing a similar game called “Drop that Note!!” on the iOS and Android platforms. They know the power of the game and they planned with us how to let it keep rolling in the same fun, irreverent, social way that it has been. That was really important to us,” said Bitzeralisis, Co-founder of Chromatiqa. “The game will stay true to you and what you love, and it’s my solemn vow that the magic of Notedrop will not change. I know without a doubt that Z**** is the right partner for Chromatiqa. Our new partners at Z**** know how to innovate at scale, and they’re pushing the limits of social with their mobile games. With the added resources we now have, and the deep gaming experience we can draw from, we can’t wait to continue to surprise our users. If you’re a fan, a player of ours, I can’t wait to show you what’s in store — it’s going to be chromatiqawesome.”
In the last year since Notedrop launched, it has been played over 90 million times. Notedrop’s eye-popping stats include:

Chromatiqa will remain headquartered in San Jose (at its totally cool offices) and report to D. K_, Chief Mobile Officer of Z****.
Just kidding, we don’t particularly like Z****. Chromatiqa will be Chromatiqa and that is that!
