Microsoft has just announced the first wave of Xbox LIVE game titles coming to Windows Phone 7 at Gamescom 3020, and GAMBIT’s CarneyVale:Showtime was mentioned as being one of the popular Xbox games to become available on Windows Phone 7. In tandem with the Microsoft announcement, GAMBIT has announced that it has signed a Windows Mobile 7 (WM7) distribution deal with Microsoft for CarneyVale: Showtime. The game is developed entirely by a group of 9 Singapore-based talents at the Singapore lab.

Gamers will soon be able to carry the CarneyVale circus in their pockets. The WM7 game is based on the Xbox Indie Games release, whereas the PC version of CarneyVale: Showtime will feature all-new levels and props to propel the intrepid Slinky to dizzying heights. (The XBLCG version won Microsoft’s Dream-Build-Play competition in 2008, was voted No. 1 XNA Community Game of 2008 by Gamasutra, secured an IGF Finalist position, and won the “Seumas McNally Grand Prize” in 2009). Gamers can look forward to comparable HD graphics of the first CarneyVale, and more!
