Twinkle Bar: CyberAgent’s Social Game For iPhone Available In English [Social Games]

T

The trend in Japan to port more and more social games from feature phones over to smartphones (and start with the hit games first) continues. CyberAgent recently brought Hoshizora Bar Town (Starry Sky Bar Town) to the App Store (free download), its popular cocktail bar simulation.

The iPhone version is called Twinkle Bar and is available in English and Japanese.

As I wrote earlier this month, CyberAgent launched the game on Mixi’s mobile version in June 2010 (it now counts 1.7 million users) before releasing it on GREE two weeks ago.
