7Seas Technologies Limited, a Hyderabad-based independent IP-based games development company, has entered into a partnership with US-based advertisement-supported mobile games and application distributor Greystripe.

The deal envisages distribution of free ad-supported mobile games to players worldwide.

Under the partnership, a collection of seven 7Seas’ 3D mobile games – Neetu-The Alien Killer, Kraze, Durby, Treasure Trove, Great Elude, 3D SuDoKu and Planets of SuDoKu – will be delivered through Greystripe's 100-odd catalog platform partners, in addition to their own site www.gamejump.com.

“Besides, Greystripe’s entire catalogue of 800-odd games will be distributed through 7Seas’ mobile web portal www.mobizill.com.

The partnership will see the two companies team up to distribute advertising-funded games for mobile devices worldwide,” L Maruthi Sanker,  managing director of 7Seas Technologies, said here on Tuesday.
