Mad Croc Game to feature F-secure in-app Freedome

NEW DELHI: Finland-based online security and privacy company F-Secure has joined hands with FMCG player Mad Croc to bring the former's Freedome VPN to mobile gaming fans.

Mad Croc is launching a new game in order to grab the attention of the mobile generation, and they’ve integrated Freedome to highlight the importance of online privacy. Freedome is a one-button VPN (Virtual Private Network) that gives people a hassle-free way to encrypt their communications, change their virtual location to access geo-blocked websites and streaming services, and block malicious websites and online tracking attempts.

"Freedome’s a great way to protect privacy and keep mobile phones secure. It takes all of these big issues that people worry about and takes care of those worries with the push of a button. It’s a great concept and it’s exactly the kind of privacy protection app that we think Mad Croc fans are looking for, so we made an effort to include Freedome in the game,” said Ari Koivula , CEO of Mad Croc.

It is currently available for iOS, Android, Windows PC, OS X, and Amazon Fire devices. The Mad Croc Game was produced by Mad Croc in partnership with the Finnish game company Tribeflame. The game will launch for iOS and Android devices on today at Gamescom, and will be released for Windows Phone devices at a later date.

The new Mad Croc Game lets players assume the role of a Mad Croc crocodile navigating through treacherous waters. The crocodile progresses through the game by successfully swimming up different rivers while avoiding obstacles. The croc can also collect gold and bonus items, and players can use the gold to buy add-ons from the Croc store, such as extra stamina or other power-ups.

“Mad Croc’s showing a lot of ingenuity with this idea, and partnering with them is an exciting way for us to help gamers really engage with the idea of protecting online privacy.”said F-Secure Executive Vice President, Consumer Security, Samu Konttinen .
