Big Fish Games Acquires Thinglefin

Thinglefin, which was founded in May and only completed Series A financing in July, has been acquired by Big Fish Games. Thinglefin is currently working on a "Web-based social game" with casual gameplay elements. Big Fish distributes and develops online games, adding publication clout to Thinglefin without, apparently, disrupting or changing the ongoing development process.  "For the record, this is a fantastic development not only for us, but for our upcoming game," blogged Thinglefin co-founder  and CEO Toby Ragaini. "The team is continuing to work, essentially uninterupted, on the game we set out to make. In many ways, this is the best of both worlds. We get to do what we love, but with the resources, experience, and wisdom of the best casual game company in the business.  But don’t expect too many changes around here. We’re still walking softly. We’re just carrying a much bigger stick."
