Acting as a vote of confidence in the platform, social gaming specialist King.com has announced the tablet version of Bubble Saga will be a timed exclusive for Kindle Fire.
The game already boasts 1.1 million daily active users on Facebook, with its appearance on Amazon's tablet representing the first release in the Saga series since King.com acquired developer Fabrication Games back in March.

As well as opting to tie itself to Kindle Fire, King.com claims Bubble Saga is also the first "fully synchronised mobile/Facebook game", building upon the firm's strategy to expand its casual library beyond its base on the social network.
"In 2011, there were over 67 million tablets sold worldwide according to Strategy Analytics. The Android platform had a record 39 percent of the world's share and the Kindle Fire is increasingly leading that drive," said CEO Riccardo Zacconi.
"We're excited to be exclusively teaming up with Amazon as a part of our multi-platform games initiative, building on our Facebook games successes and providing more access points for our consumers to play their favourite games whenever and wherever they want."
King.com claims a version of the game for other Android devices will be launched in the future.
Over the past months, many social developers have praised Amazon's platform. TinyCo said its Tiny Village game is experiencing higher ARPU than on iOS, while Flurry suggested it was monetising almost four times better than Google Play.
