Sulake, creators of Habbo Hotel, and Fabrication Games, creators of Sprinkle, team up to create a brand new iOS hit.

Sulake have made a name for themselves with the online social gaming titan, Habbo Hotel, which has been a hangout for cyber-teens for years now, and still attracts ten million unique visitors every month. Together with Fabrication Games, creators of acclaimed iOS game Sprinkle, Sulake have developed their first game for the iOS platform, entitled Niko and due for release next Thursday, January 19.

Niko is set to be a freemium game, allowing players to download the app for free with the first six levels, then pay an additional £1.49 or $1.99 for the other twenty-eight levels that take place over three worlds. In each level, Niko will have to navigate his way around in order to save his friends from the Otherworld – he can slingshot and catapult his way around the level, collecting coins and other goodies, as seen in the trailer below.

Niko also has some connections to Sulake’s more well-known title, Habbo Hotel. Players of Niko can get special rewards for their Habbo Hotel accounts, but exactly what players can expect from the tie-in has not been confirmed yet.

Niko releases next Thursday, January 19, on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and iPad 2.
