Free! My Star is now available on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad in France, England and other countries.

Developed by Mobile Pie for Orange, this game exclusively available on mobiles is based on a mini virtual world in which the player uses his avatar to become a music star!

My Star is playful, social and interactive!

Playful because players can customise their avatars by choosing its look; customise their environment; develop their musical talent (singing, guitar, piano, DJ ...) and record songs with his friends to get to the Top 50 ... by using the virtual currency of the game (tokens and Star Cash *).

My Star is social because players are part of a community. The application includes the use of geotagging via Facebook. The player can instantly choose to share on his Facebook wall a poster, a photo of his Star’s apartment, add Stars to their list of Friends, or to like the My Star page ** and there are even chances of winning awards...

And finally due to the interactive function of Star Phone, based on the Orange APIs, the player is able to be ordered on missions, given tips or challenged via SMS, email and be called by his Star via an IVR (challenges, requests, gaming tips).

 

This new version of the game gives the players a unique experience by allowing his/her to fully interact with the Star. This level of interaction is a first in the world of mobile gaming.

My Star is the first game on iPhone to integrate the Orange APIs directly into the gaming experience (SMS API, INTERACTIVE VOICE API and Email API). The APIs draw in the player by allowing him to fully interact with his environment and other players.

Find us on Facebook where we await you. More than 6000 people like us on there!

 

To conclude:

Blending the worlds of music and social networking, this game revolutionises the world of mobile gaming by integrating a specific mobile technology: geotagging with the new Orange APIs. By launching My Star, Orange intends to retain its lead in the distribution of mobile games and guarantee its customers and partners a unique interactive experience.

This collaboration with Mobile Pie demonstrates how useful it could be when the Orange APIs are integrated into the world of gaming.
