PopCap has long trailed its support for Android, albeit without going much beyond general platitudes.
Finally, though, the opportunity to launch on Amazon's US-only Appstore for Android has encouraged it into action.
Chuzzle will be available from May 17 through May 30. It will be free as part of Amazon's Paid App for Free Every Day promotion.
It will be followed by Plants vs. Zombies, later in May, again for a two week-only period. This will also launch free, while both games will otherwise cost $2.99.
Shiny, happy
"Our relationship with Amazon is pivotal to PopCap's overall strategy in bringing a growing roster of mobile titles to the ever-widening base of smartphone users," said Giordano Bruno Contestabile, PopCap's senior director of global product and business strategy for mobile.
"By making these titles available on the Android platform, we'll significantly extend the reach of our top franchises to legions of new mobile customers and gaming fans alike."
"PopCap is a brand synonymous with great mobile games, and we're thrilled to offer our customers Chuzzle and Plants vs. Zombies for Android exclusively through the Amazon Appstore," stated Aaron Rubenson, category leader at Amazon.
