Glu Mobile today announced that it has signed a deal with HipSoft to bring the award winning casual game, Build-a-lot to mobile phones. The agreement gives Glu multi-year, exclusive rights to develop Build-a-lot for the mobile platform and publish throughout North and Latin America.

The game allows players to tackle the housing market by renovating and selling houses in a variety of neighborhoods. “Build-a-lot” was named “Action/Arcade Game of the Year” by Big Fish Games, “Strategy Game of the Year” by RealArcade, and was nominated for the 2008 Interactive Achievement Awards for “Downloadable Game of the Year.”

Build-a-lot will be coming to mobile phones in early 2009.
