Cited by the publisher as one of its key acquisitions in 2011, Gamevil has launched BLUE G&C's Cartoon Wars for free on Android Market.
The game has amassed a total of 5 million downloads on the App Store since it launched in 2009, with Gamevil having accrued exclusive publishing and partial IP rights to the series as part of its $10 million strong Partner Fund program.

Its debut on Android comes with Cartoon Wars having already topped App Store charts in more than 22 countries, where it currently retails for 99c/69p.
Gamevil previously launched free release Cartoon Wars: Gunner+ on Google's marketplace back in November.
"As a publisher we're very excited to bring an original hit that's been there from the beginning, finally to Android users worldwide," said VP and head of Gamevil USA Kyu Lee.
"Our fans have made Cartoon Wars one of the most popular mobile game series in recent years, and more can enjoy it now for free from the Android Market."
Gamevil's Partner Fund was set up to strengthen the Korean outfit's hand in the smartphone market by tapping up IP from third parties, with Air Penguin which recently passed 13 million downloads on iOS and Android - Colosseum and Destinia cited as other early successes.
