Popular online game publisher Miniclip has announced plans to create a division dedicated to mobile gaming – specifically for iOS and Android systems. The company, which has already expanded into the App Store with games like Monster Trucks Nitro II and Fragger, expects to continue growth in mobile games. Antonio Varanda, formerly of Skype, is heading up the new mobile business unit.

“Its no secret there is an overabundance of games available for the iPhone; yet Miniclip has been able to break through the clutter and leverage our massive community of casual gamers to drive awareness and sales,” said Varanda.

What’s more, Miniclip has announced new games for the fall including Fragger HD for iPad, Ping Pong and a 20 minigame collection called Candy & Clyde, based on a successful Flash game.
