Both editions were developed by MumboJumbo in conjunction with RealArcade and feature eleven unique realms, a multiplayer mode, and seven fun and challenging modes of play including Classic, Relapse, Strategy, Puzzle, Slider, Continuous and Countdown. "Real and MumboJumbo share the same vision for delivering high-quality, addictively-fun casual games to the mass market," says Matt Lichtenwalter, vice president of product development at MumboJumbo.

For the mobile gamer, Real's award-winning Mr.Goodliving studios in Helsinki, Finland has developed Collapse!

The previous mobile version, Collapse!, has been a top seller since its release in 2003. "On-the-go gaming has become an extremely popular source of entertainment and favored pastime for the whole family" said Matt Turetzky, vice president, non-PC platforms in the Games Division at RealNetworks. "By taking our most popular RealArcade titles to mobile, and working with MumboJumbo to publish our games on the Nintendo DS™ and PSP® systems, we're giving our audience even more ways to access their favorite games.
