According to the company, NanoStar social games are a growing collection of Facebook applications that use these unique collectible characters in the game play in ways that are so innovative, they’re protected by multiple patents. If a user unlocks a character in one game, they can also use it in another NanoStar social game - with different effects.

Trip Hawkins, CEO and founder of Digital Chocolate, said: “I want the NanoStar characters to feel like Pokemon for grownups. I like films like Shrek that can appeal to a wide-age range audience. People who grew up with Pokemon that are now on Facebook can also enjoy NanoStar Castles.”

Will the launch benefit Digital Chocolate?
