London-based Playyoo is launching a game contest today to mobile casual game developers using the Adobe Flash Lite technology. Looks like the total prize pool is over $20,000. The site launches in preview mode today at 14:00 European time and will feature some game trials and information on the contest.

In my former life we built loads of casual games that received millions of plays a day from moms. It’s just amazing how large a segment casual gaming is.

“The enormous success of user-generated content and social networking sites reflects the universal needs of self-expression and identifying with others. Playyoo will provide a social platform for user-generated mobile casual games — enabling both professionals and novices to express themselves through their games on a global scale. And Playyoo will introduce the fun world of mobile games to a whole new group of mobile users worldwide,” said Chris Pelly, CEO of Playyoo.
