Got kids? TabTale’s got their appsEver-expanding Israeli mobile games developer, TabTale, has announced its first US acquisition with the buyout of rival Sunstorm Games.

“We followed Sunstorm’s activity for a while and reached the conclusion that acquiring Sunstorm and working alongside its talented team, will not only enrich our portfolio, but will also expand our worldwide reach,” said TabTale CEO Sagi Schliesser. “Sunstorm Games has a proven loyal fan base, similar to that of TabTale. We look forward to collaborating with Sunstorm and continuing to develop the best mobile games for our loyal customers, over 40 million monthly active users, the majority of whom are in the US.”

The Tel Aviv-based company, that recently acquired Level Bit and Coco Play, is now adding the Las Vegas-based “Maker” series developers to its roster. Sunstorm is also known for hits like Gymnastics Events and My School Dance.

TabTale says it has seen 600 million downloads of its more than 300 titles. The company’s Linebound game, now called Borderline, snagged over a million downloads in its first 72 hours.
