Mobile publishers can alway use a little help from some friends.
Klang Games announced today that it has partnered with publisher Tilting Point to help launch and operate ReRunners, an upcoming platform-racing game designed for tablets and smartphones. Tilting Point is also helping with funding (of an undisclosed amount) and marketing. Partnerships like this are important for developers, who need all the help they can get when they try to make a hit in a mobile market that could be worth an estimated $30 billion this year, according to Newzoo.
