Expands Reach in Fast Growing Global Games Market\n\n\n NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - January 27, 2016) - SPYR, Inc. (OTCQB: SPYR) has proven it will employ an \"all-of-the-above\" strategy when it comes to growing its footprint in the multi-billion dollar mobile games market. 2016 is barely underway, and SPYR has already made two interesting announcements that show the company isn't afraid to get creative to broaden its opportunity for success. The first came in early January when the company launched \"Retro Shot,\" in select overseas markets for testing. The new mobile game is one that SPYR is co-publishing with the game's developer, SuperPlus Games.

Why have these two announcements caught our attention?

And, now in early 2016, SPYR has shown it can create additional avenues to compete in the industry by also turning to third-party developers.Retro Shot is a retro arcade game fully equipped with neon lights, an 80's synthwave soundtrack, free-to-play game mechanics and monetization. The game's developer, SuperPlus Games, is a Finnish development company that was founded by three former Rovio employees who were part of the team that developed the mega mobile game sensation, \"Angry Birds.\" Meanwhile, Pocket Starships is a free-to-play cross-platform MMO where players can build and pilot numerous starships in real-time space battles, recruit players, form strong alliances, and battle with and against thousands of other players on a quest for galactic domination. Spectacle Games will continue the development of Pocket Starships to provide regular updates and new content ...
