Uphill Rush 2

Played 150 million times. Probably more now, in fact.

HILVERSUM, THE NETHERLANDS, 11 August 2010 - SPIL GAMES, the worldwide leader in online gaming websites, announces that its main title Uphill Rush 2 has now surpassed 150 million unique game plays.

The milestone means that Uphill Rush 2 now ranks among the company's most popular games and is one of the most-played casual games on the Internet. Uphill Rush 2 averages 400,000 game plays every day.

"We created Uphill Rush 2 for teens. The game's success shows that our designers and demographic analysts have a clear view of what our audience wants in a casual game," said Peter Driessen, CEO of SPIL GAMES.

The company attributes the game's success to two factors: It gives young people the chance to experience speed and control, and offers social features with which players can share their achievements and challenge other players online.

"In short, social features offer the players greater control over their gameplay." Driessen continued.
